Scott: Just gotta say, I'm from Dallas and there is no contest between us and Houston...Houston seriously rules. I mean, yeah Dallas is nice, but H-Town's definitely got us beat! (Houstonians are actually a lot friendlier and better-looking, too!) Plus, who says our skyline's bigger or better? If you've been down...

EvilGentleman: Socially stratified contrasts in high proximity. Some of it has been like that for decades, if not centuries, like the famous divide of Westmount, with those "above the tracks" being wealthy, while those "below the tracks" are poor. But most of what Frank describes is the effect of gentrification, as the...

EvilGentleman: Quite the good series. I did not even know about the fire until a friend of mine from Kahnawake called me to tell me about it on the news. The ice is quite spectacular looking, too bad it comes from such a sad source. That's a pretty good shot of...

Jimmy Legs: it's a strange attitude to adopt, rosecoloredglasses: bemoan safety issues but still admit the neighborhood is coming back. how does a neighborhood come back without change? and in this case one undeniable aspect of this is an influx of new residents. the people who move here only for cheap rent...

JANICE: I GREW UP IN NORTON, MOVED IN 67, AND HAVE MISSED THE SMALL TOWN FEEL EVER SINCE. I REMEMBER PLAYING ALL DAY LONG AND NO ONE EVER WORRIED ABOUT OUR SAFETY. I NEVER REMEMBER BEING BORED AS WE HAD THE PUBLIC SWIMMING POOL, THE SUMMER FAIR, THE RACE...

Frank S. Besner: The strong Socialist/Communist presence in the Pointe has always hit me as something of an obvious necessity. I haven't experienced a neighbourhood in witch the pattern of affluence and scarcity is so tightly sandwiched. The neigbourhood can't be more than a kilometer across (from the Canal to the Alstom test...

Jadalina: I am trying to imagine how fat American women can possibly use a squat toilet without soiling their pants in the process.

CE: Here are some pictures I took of the demolition around November 2006. The workers were breaking open a large gas drum with a backhoe. The lot is now a clean slate, I'm assuming something is planned for it as I have not seen any signs that it is...
