Maisonneuve magazine


I don't hide my love for Montreal. I love the city. I love everything it is, everything it stands for and everything it produces. I've cultivated this love over many a sejour and a few weekends here and there. Besides great culture and festivals add interesting journalism and writing to the list of things I love about Montreal.

A few months back I discovered a great online magazine about life in urban centres with a focus on Montreal. Some great articles with topics ranging from music, urban issues, politics and arts. This one article in particular is about "le flaneur" or one who wanders throughout the city taking it all in (not a great translation, but best I could come up with). The article discusses the art of "flanage" and whether it has become a lost art or whether the digital revolution has in fact aided it. Check it out here

About Me

It is the little things that get me. Old photos, quaint parks, animated streets, bike rides and colourful markets.
