Every post from Reddit, newest first.
Every major road downtown was closed Saturday, leaving buses stuck and forcing commuters to plan way ahead. No STM alert beforehand either.
yard sale happening in the southwest (Little Burgundy) close to metro georges-vanier. perfect if you're hunting for a deal.
someone just started work near metro square victoria and is hunting for a gym in the old port area. thread's got a few suggestions rolling in.
Someone on Reddit's asking where to find affordable, tasty salads on the Plateau. Mandy's exists but it's a brunch vibe, not a grab-it-quick lunch spot. The ask: why doesn't Montreal have salad chains like Sweetgreen in NYC or the ready-to-eat salad game that France has nailed?
Someone just asked r/montreal where to find the best Vietnamese egg coffee in the city and Phin Cafe came up as the standout—locals saying they've never seen it anywhere else around Montreal.
thread got going about the nicest terrasses from Frontenac to Pointe-aux-Trembles. everyone's pushing their neighborhood spots. if you know good patios with actual views, now's the time.
felt a subtle shake on my patio around 8:05 this morning—chair swaying side to side for a few seconds. was it an actual tremor or just me? anyone else feel it?
people on r/montreal just realized the tower on Sainte-Hélène that everyone thought was an old fort is actually a 1937 decorator hiding a water tank. the tank fed the island by gravity. decades of assuming it was way older.
Canada Day lightning show — someone captured a massive storm ripping across the western sky from downtown. Those photos are everywhere right now.
Fireworks at La Ronde ended with chaos — people running, police on the bridge, rumors about a celebrity involved. The ending was wild.
Someone's planning to celebrate their 10-year anniversary in a hotel room with shawarma delivery and wine, and the city is getting heated about which kebab spot will actually make it.
Squall warnings every other day and rain basically non-stop—we're already in July and barely had any decent sunny weather. People are saying it's one of the worst summers on record.
Heavy rain hitting DDO and the West Island right now while the rest of Montreal gets blasted with heat from the other half of the storm.
Toronto condos have dropped so fast they're now more affordable than Montreal's for the first time in over a decade. wild swing.
people are debating balcony cigarette smoke in residential buildings — there's a 9-metre rule for public buildings but nothing for apartments, and chain-smokers are affecting whole blocks.
someone posted on La Presse about waiting over an hour at the Uber zone at YUL. sounds like it's a structural disaster — way too many people, not enough coordination.
heads up if you're selling expensive stuff on FB Marketplace: be cautious. someone just got burned — watch out for sketchy offers and meet in public.
airport route check: métro + REM + bus 815 vs. the 747 — both take about an hour from Berri. the 815 combo has more transfers but fewer people; the 747 hits the highway. pick your vibe.
where to catch the Canada vs. Morocco match Saturday? looking for a chill spot with sound — not wall-to-wall packed. downtown/Plateau/Old Port ideally, but happy to wander if the vibe is right.
Looking for an outdoor spot to watch Morocco play Canada on Saturday? Bring your own food and drinks if you can — way better than sitting at home.
