Here we go, yet another Trafalgar even in Montréal after all those Waterloo places we've heard of here and there...
I bet Chateau Kabab's food is royal. No kidding, I like kebab food when it's of the decent quality.
I must admit, I'm having a bit of trouble getting the tone of your message, but you must understand that these residences catered to the wealthy and the elite when they were built, and in 1930's Montreal that meant almost inescapably white english-speaking (of English and Scottish decent).
As for chateau kabab, I haven't been there myself, but my fellow Concordia University mates have generally good things to say.
I should mention that the fire station you show in your second installment was built in the north central part of the city in the fledgling but long defunct municipality of Saint-Louis for the benefit of our Saint-Louis friends and co-admirers like Centropolis.
Hopefully the Royal Victoria Hospital won't suffer the same fate as the Viger. At least part of it showed be given to McGill and the Neuro for their use.
A few years ago, a European business group bought place Viger and planned for it to be fully renovated and to be transformed into a luxury hotel, with the surrounding empty spaces used to build condo towers.
It ran into trouble with the NIMBYs and then the recession finished it off.
I haven't heard of any news since.
As for the Royal Vic, it's anyone's guess, but I do hope it becomes part of the McGill campus, that would be the natural progression.
Wow, NIMBYs are fun aren't they? After all, who wouldn't rather live next to an empty and gutted building and barren parking lot when you could live next to a restored hotel and residential development.
