aer suzuki: while this is funny and i'm not really the type to ruin a party i gotta wonder about the ethical implications of taking someone's picture without their permission and posting it in a high profile, public forum. with the advent of tiny digital cameras and camera phones, it's getting extremely easy...

EvilGentleman: Good point, Chris. Most of the truly spiral staircases are in fact, either fire escapes or accesses to rear balcony entrances. Then there are the double spirals, one for the left side and one for the right, although they share the same landings in the middle. Confusing? Yes, it is...

Chris Erb: When I was in Montreal, I didn't see too many main entrances that were full sprial staircases like the one above. Most of what I saw (Mostly in the [Plateau], I didn't make it to Verdun) were staircases that made a rounded 90 degree turn at the top or...

mofidious: so as to prevent confusion between the names MOFIDIOUS and MODIFIDIOUS, MOFIDIOUS (or was that MODIFIDIOUS?) is now changing our name (against our doctor's orders, mind you) to the following:

in response to Mofidious

colin from the co-op: oh my god i saw that modifidious stencil down on south street and hopton. i happened across it on my way to the public toilets on the wong; a venue often frequent by myself, and somewhere i indeed go to solicit the sexual attentions of other men. but i digress....

Scott Sargent: Gus, its a very small, boring town. I have indeed seen many "proper" towns, as it were, and while I appreciate your specific gusto for BARNOLDSWICK, I am hoping to make a different point through this series of postings.

Xindy the Lesbian: Let me just point out that that sign does NOT say "STOP HeteroSEXUALISM" but rather "STOP HeteroSEXISM". There is a huge difference here. One means stop being straight and the other simply means stop thinking heteros are superior to homos. Next time, try making sure you are...

Horncastle Harry: I just spotted this one on south street & hopton!

in response to Mofidious

EvilGentleman: Many of the winding staircases you see here in Montreal (although not this one) are in fact, main entrances. This is especially true in Verdun and the Plateau Mont-Royal. Just imagine having to shovel 3 floors of stairs after an ice storm. Talk about fun.

in response to NDG

GUS BRENNAN: hi scott, yes i must agree the buildings do look quite flat, apart from the grain tower. but surely it`s not the building that make a town, the residents can add something, now, if they are a boring bunch then there is no hope, anyway i expect ok. to be...

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I've always thought that they should have poles as fire escapes (just like at the firehouses) for the able bodied to get out superquick. Although I would put on a negligee and wait to be rescued by a hot fireman.

Chris Erb: Thanks Peter! I love the staircases in Montreal but I've heard they're not allowed to be used for fire escapes on new buildings anymore. Apparently people will become disoriented when rushing down the stairs and having to go in circles. If it's true, it's too bad because they're quite...
