Montreal, QC - EvilGentleman - Thursday, May 17th, 2007 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
This post complements CE's Red Light District article posted earlier today. He has already described a great deal of the following pictures quite well. I suggest you have a look at his article.
Superock Tattoo Parlor has been around as long as I can remember.
The Romance sex shop used to have a giant apple over the door that has disappeared in recent times. It used to be kept immaculately clean, but not anymore.
Boutique Erotika, another sex shop across the street.
The blank windowpane with the tree reflected in it actually houses the silhouette screen that shows the image of a dancing stripper at night. Studio XXX also sells and rents porn movies.
For some reason, I like the name Sexotheque. Too bad it's just a sleazy peep show, which in Montreal means a place full of private booths where the raincoat crowd can go to watch movies in peace without missing a stroke.
A cool mural behind the famous toon building.
The back of the demolished porn theater that used to be next to Club Soda
The view looking north from the entrance to the Saint-Laurent metro station.
The view looking south, also previously posted by myself, CE and Hool, and maybe others as well.
Damned if I can figure out what these orbs are. For some reason, a Sikh temple comes to mind, but I suspect that is not the true answer.
The eastern end of the building that houses Foufounes Electriques.

I see they've removed part of Hotel Le Boléro's sign. (the last bit of it remains as the triangular panel in the Superock picture) That's too bad for me, I guess... I'll always asociate that place with my first visits to the city, years ago. I used to actually STAY there, for lack of knowlege of the many decently priced hotels on lower St-Hubert. So what does a night at a hotel that offers "sieste" (nap) rates get you? How about a pimp fight in the middle of the night, a stab mark urrounded by a bloodstain on your mattress and no bible in the night table's drawer.

You may have called them bibles, but I think the other customers there called them "rolling papers". I once watched someone prepare a shipment of hashish for the mail by cutting a large square out the center of every page in the bible, thus making a pocket to hide the drugs in. Dictionaries were popular items, as well.
