Here was a vinyl banner at an absurd 2001 specimen of postmodern architecture in Montréal, with spikes of antipigeon.

This being Montréal and me being an anglophone a-hole/d-bag tourist, I was surprised that the banner had not been mandated to read "MDR Centre des fêtes."

And yes I was laughing loudly but inside I was panicking because I was physically unable to stop laughing. Has that ever happened to you?

Where vines have been crumbling the concrete! Où les vignes ont effrité le béton!

Where the letters are transparent with gold outlines and the numerals are gold with transparent outlines. I dare you to guess the area code, it's 514.

Lately I have been reading the Ville de Montréal rôle d'évaluation foncière (City of Montréal property assessment roll) and learning that the building (named "Le Pierce") is from 1976.

1975 was one of the big years for brown architecture and I wish all of these goddamned autos would clear on out of here.

-----------------------

In downtown Montréal on May 31st, 2018, the building "Le Chatel" at the southwest corner (locally the "northwest" corner) of Boulevard Maisonneuve Ouest and Rue Guy.

Le Chatel was completed in 1975 according to the online Ville de Montréal rôle d'évaluation foncière (property assessment roll). Emporis says it was 1967 but I guess I'll trust the city's database more than Emporis? Emporis did not exist in the sixties-seventies but the Ville de Montréal did.

Regardez yon Montréal 1976 brutalist, plus a sample of the exhausting ceaselessness of Montréal intersection activity such as families of pedestrians crossing streets and utility vans turning left.
