Previous Day :: Next Day

Chris Erb: I hope these get the loving they deserve. I also hope at least some of them are made into low income housing as I hear it is almost impossible to live in NYC unless you're making pretty damn good money.

in response to Brownstones in

EvilGentleman: I have some friends that swear by BC buds, although I do not care for that sort of thing myself.

in response to Ryerson Quad

Chris Erb: I like the little guy in the clouds in picture 2.

in response to Montreal Noise: Saint-Laurent 5

Chris Erb: This is the second pun in a row I've read by you EG! You're on a roll. I noticed that they trees in Montreal were actually quite ahead of the trees here in New Brunswick. Maybe the further west you go the better the buds are. Victoria probably...

in response to Ryerson Quad

Chris Erb: The all in one pillow is pretty neat. I have a good invention for kool aide but I need to figure out if it's been done yet. if not, I think it could be huge!

in response to The Future Einstein\'s?

joey: california golden poppies

in response to Looking Into My Backyard

Chris Erb: This is actually the first time I've ever seen a blackberry (even a picture). I've always wondered what they look like but never took it upon myself to simply google image search it. They look pretty neat. The buttons look like they might be kinda hard to...

in response to Citynoise Handheld Version

Chris Erb: wow. I would love to watch the artists do this. It just amazes me how much detain they can get with spray paint. I have no idea why people are against grafitti.

in response to Montreal Noise: Saint-Laurent 4

Elicar: Nice. I like the angles.

in response to April 27th 2006: Cameraphone

Elicar: Michelle, the little that I could see, very nice backyard! Who does the gardening, though? ;) I don't have daffodils nor daisies in my garden, but I think those are daffodils. Here are the daisies that I bought for an AIDS fundraising.

in response to Looking Into My Backyard

Elicar: No, I didn't! I didn't get my Tiffany "rock! ;)

in response to Graf Proposal to Carrie

Chris Erb: Political science to photography is quite a jump! I'm going to be doing a double major in Sociology and urban studies then hopefully to to grad school to do city planning. One of the things that attracted me to Concordia was the fact they do have a very...

in response to Tall Buildings of Montreal

EvilGentleman: Just because plant-type organisms do not move is no reason to think they are more suited to die violently than are mobile, animal-type organisms. Life is life. Many people debate whether or not plants actually feel pain, and my native heritage has a tradition of respecting the spirits of any...

in response to A Grisly Example of Man\'s Inhumanity

EvilGentleman: During my 6 years of working as a jail guard, I saw many disrespectful acts commited by the prisoners. I have been spit on, had my children's lives threatened, and had to sustain abuse of a level that is hard to describe, and yet I still treated the prisoners with...

in response to Free Man?

sherri: I can tell you that people always judge "Public Civil Servants". Try doing their job for ONE day. Get spit on, cursed at, yelled at, etc. My fiancee is a Corrections Officer at a max jail and I can tell you, the disrespect street is only ONE WAY. Anyone remeber...

in response to Free Man?

Michelle: Great pictures, an even better story though!

in response to Kicked Off Bus

Michelle: Wow! I'm amazed that a cameraphone gives such good quality! Good for you!

in response to April 27th 2006: Cameraphone

GGP: all of that would be nice! give it time...

in response to Kimchi? Sushi? Slush Puppy? Fill\'er Up!

Robert: Jack, you take me back to those good old days even better than a Thomas Wolfe short story would. Great pictures too!

in response to Kicked Off Bus

EvilGentleman: LOL, I was trying for Buds, too. Luckily my bar has a fridge full of Bud.

in response to Ryerson Quad

Tamara: Biff: I use to eat lunch in the quad, haven't been back in years... looks at though nothing has changed. Evil: it's absolutely beautiful at the moment, almost all the trees in the city, are budding. It's my favorite time of the year.

in response to Ryerson Quad

Biff: I think I was trying for the buds.

in response to Ryerson Quad

anon: Jamie: Great pics, I love the quality of black and white. Elaine... too funny. Do you could document the combat, personally I'd be laughing to hard (no pun intended)!

in response to April 27th 2006: Cameraphone

EvilGentleman: I wonder if they serve tacos, tostadas, falafels and gyros, too. With Belgian chocolates for dessert, and Australian beer to go.

in response to Kimchi? Sushi? Slush Puppy? Fill\'er Up!

EvilGentleman: True enough, sherri. But police officers also have to learn to be in control of their emotions at all times. Powertripping or "teaching a lesson" seldom works, it tends to breed contempt, not respect. And I honestly have to wonder, if the kid was white, would he have been pinned...

in response to Free Man?

EvilGentleman: er... ok. But maybe you shoulda taken the pic a little closer to the trees, so we could see the quadrangle between the trunks, instead of through the branches. I see your trees are budding more than ours here, by the way.

in response to Ryerson Quad

EvilGentleman: elaine, but then you open yourself up to the possibility of seeing things like this

in response to April 27th 2006: Cameraphone

sherri: Well kids and adults alike need to learn to respect our officers. Live a day in their shoes before you judge...

in response to Free Man?

EvilGentleman: elaine, the pink Scotiabank building is not home to Barbie, but I think that Squirrel that hangs out with Spongebob Squarepants might frequent the place fairly often. Chris, I am a political science major who is hoping to switch to photography in mid-2007. Due to my mature student status, I have...

GGP: hilarious!

elaine: the pink building looks like barbie might live there

in response to Tall Buildings of Montreal

elaine: i quite like the idea of penises in combat

in response to April 27th 2006: Cameraphone

joey: you must have the phone set to 'backlot' effect, as picture #2 has the painted scenery look after about the third car.

in response to April 27th 2006: Cameraphone

Chris Erb: I didn't realize that the "box" is no longer in use as the actual arts building. I didn't notice the graffiti but I'll check for it next time I'm in the city (should be around May). You make a good point about keeping tuition rates low by not having to...

in response to Tall Buildings of Montreal

EvilGentleman: Um.... What am I looking at, Biff?

in response to Ryerson Quad

Chris Erb: Mine started going grey at 15 or 16. I haven't noticed many more since but I've been letting my hair grow longer since then so I just might not be able to see new ones.

in response to Fredericton Skyscrapers

EvilGentleman: Jamie, don't force me to dicuss my grey ear hairs! ;-) And if I had whings, I would fly... :-p

in response to Fredericton Skyscrapers

EvilGentleman: As you can see in the first pic, any prisoners attempting to escape will have a mop bucket and a squeegee thrown at them. I think that would hurt a lot, especially if it's still full of water when it hits. And those squeegees sometimes have sharp edges...

in response to Kingston Penitentiary

Jamie: 36? quit whinging, i'm only 26.. or 25, i forget.

in response to Fredericton Skyscrapers

EvilGentleman: I remember passing through Yellowknife on my way to study at Aurora College in Fort Smith. I had not seen a city for two years when I hit Yellowknife, since I had been living in Coral Harbour, Nunavut at the time. I remenber the first thing I did was buy...

in response to April in Toronto

EvilGentleman: Mine is not grey yet, but at the rate it is thinning, I don't think it ever will. I still have hair covering the top of my head, but I think in about 2 years, I'm going for the Vin Diesel look. However, my frigging eyebrows are going grey, goddammit!...

in response to Fredericton Skyscrapers

EvilGentleman: Actually, you did get the new fine arts, or EVA (I have no idea what the acronym stands for) building. It is the one with the "hat" and the obtuse-angled facade on it's upper stories, which you can see in the last pic in your comment, behind the bus and...

Chris Erb: So is mine :S

Jamie: my hair is turning grey/gray

in response to Fredericton Skyscrapers

Chris Erb: I turned 20 this month.

in response to Fredericton Skyscrapers

Chris Erb: Those are pretty good photos for a cameraphone. They add some neat ambiance to the pictures.

in response to April 27th 2006: Cameraphone

Chris Erb: I also didn't get the fine arts building which one would assume would be a nice and interesting building but it's actually a bland four story box. It reminds me more if a distribution centre in New Jersey than a building where a lot of creative juices should be...

in response to Tall Buildings of Montreal

EvilGentleman: Bienvenue et aussi, merci bien, m'sieu. J'accepter ton salutations, et la même chose pour toi, aussi. Pardonnez mon francais, mon grammaire, n'est pas bon. J'espere que vous visiter Kangirsujuaq dans le futur, c'est un location incroyable! La visage, c'est magnifique, avec les montagnes, la mer et la glace brisee dans...

in response to Kangirsujuaq

Chris Erb: Thanks EG. I checked on Emporis and pic #5 is indeed the tallest building in Montreal. it's called Le 1250 Boulevard René-Lévesque (why can't they give these buildings actual names?) and at 226 metres tall it's one of the tallest buildings in Canada. Here are some other Concordia buildings to show...

in response to Tall Buildings of Montreal

Marita: Awwww...you're making me so so so homesick! It's still winter in Yellowknife & we won't be doing any lying-on-benches-in-the-sun til July. Enjoy!

in response to April in Toronto

Get out of your car, buddy: Gotta love Montreal!

in response to Tall Buildings of Montreal

yul781: Thank you for your post EvilGentleman, tres beau travail. It help us understand our country better. Encore MERCI et mes salutations a toi, ton epouse et a Miss-polar. yul781

in response to Kangirsujuaq

Editor: i am closing this article as it has descended into a petty sectairan squabble. lease read the faq at www.citynoise.org/about.php before posting any more comments. i'm sure there are plenty of forums where sectarian insults are positively encouraged, but this isn't one of them. complaint being sent to abuse@c2kni.org.uk

in response to The Bogside

Karlo: hello leecat,hope u enjoy your visit here,youll certainly find some parallels with your own country,but of course,major differences also..there are many guides and tours that explain to some degree,the facts about the conflict,but always keep in mind,that the conflict here was once raging all over this island,so a trip down...

in response to Montreal Noise: Saint-Laurent 2

EvilGentleman: Jeez, I was in community college before you were born. And I'm still young. Did you turn 20 yet, or are you still a teenager? Mind you, my best trip of my life so far was my tour of the American west when I was 19...

in response to Fredericton Skyscrapers

EvilGentleman: The first pic is on Rene Levesque Boulevard (Dorchester to true Montrealers) looking west past Place Ville Marie. Second pic is Place Ville Marie, which was the tallest building in Montreal for 25 years starting in 1961. Not so sure what the building is in pic #3, but then again, I never...

jeeff: i like the stretched perspective you got in photo #2. anyone know what the building in #3 is?

Chris Erb: This even made Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Hoyt

in response to Beware: Perv Alert!

Cameo: I've seen that guy doing push-ups infront of my favourite monday-night watering hole when it's -20 and snowing outside in the middle of January or Febuary... He stops in front of the window, drops down into the snow and starts pounding them out... What a freak!

in response to April in Toronto

jeeff: chicago has (had?) a 'club foot'.

in response to Montreal Noise: Saint-Laurent 2

jeeff: yeah you might catch a dead body or two if you fish from the spadina wharf.

in response to Interesting Places...

Elicar: I hope you won't eat what you catch! The cleanliness of the water of Lake Ontario is a high suspect.

in response to Interesting Places...

GGP: club soda is a great name. is it a great place? we have a place in bklyn called plain old "soda."

in response to Montreal Noise: Saint-Laurent 2
