That's a cool way to display an exhibit of photos along the sidewalk! Nice snap with the skyline behind!

That is a really good way to display the old photos so people don't have to go into an enclosed space but can appreciate in the outdoors where they were taken.

Pity about Ben's, they had the best Latkes. I sure remember the decor and the waiters . . . -:)

Thanks, yes there are, I would love to see the Jaques Cartier bridge and the view down to St.Helen's island . . . is there still a restaurant there?

I just found a couple of videos of and from the bridge but they were not very good. The footpath on the bridge seems to be totally enclosed now, ah well, no more jumping into the St. Lawrence for there I guess . .

Very creative and definitely bringing art to the people... your shot of the scene is beautifully backdropped with the glass reflections of Montreal.

Bises,

Great idea! Is there always a display of some kind here?

It's an annual summer event RedPat. It's extremely popular with locals and tourists alike. :)
