  • HUNTING FOR VINTAGE TREASURES IN MILE END

    Posted by

    Mile End is to Montréal what Willamsburg is to New York: our city’s hipster hub and playground for everything fresh. On the sidewalk, you will probably pass an indie rocker, a writer, and a harmonica player, followed by a Hasidic Jew, his wife, and their babies. That’s normal.
    As I was looking for unique vintage items (my favourite), I bumped into my friend Mike, who was walking home from the laundromat and he kindly offered to film me. (Shopping solo while filming yourself and talking alone does feel a bit weird, so I gladly accepted his offer.)
    Check out my video to see all the treasures I found!

    Mile End is my hood, and my hood is where it’s at! The area is filled with little boutiques selling all kinds of goodies, from art, to interior decoration, second-hand clothing and local designers. And so, I went shopping!

    Have a look at some of my favourite clothing stores in the area!

      			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	The beauty of Montreal is found in the diversity of the people, the historic landmarks, the arts and culture that bring together residents and returning tourists, and surely, the ever-glowing lights.			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	Plants & Animals at Breakglass Studios			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	Peter Hook at Club Soda			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	This is the view from our hotel room when my cousins and I spent the weekend in Montreal last July. The window looks directly up Avenue McGill College, to McGill campus and the mountain. I lived in Montreal during my time at the university, but this weekend was the first time my three cousins had been to the beautiful city. We spent the entire weekend walking up and down St. Denis, eating La Banquise's poutine in Parc La Fontaine, and napping in Parc Jeanne-Mance. But that first view of the city after our arrival at the hotel was definitely a moment that left my newbie cousins in awe of Montreal.			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	I was in Montreal last winter (February) just after the death of one of my parents. I really needed to get out of Toronto at that time, to reflect, and to surround myself with new stimuli. It was very cold during the visit, but I spent a lot of time walking around anyway, taking photos, going to galleries, and visiting restaurants with old friends. This shot is on Sherbrooke, just west of the Main. I've posted this before, in a flickr pool called "It can't be more Montreal than this".  I like this image because it looks like it's very cold out, and yet there are people moving about in what I think is one of the country's most charming cities.
