Angine de Poitrine's playing free at Jazz Fest tonight. Long-time Montreal band, so if you're already downtown, worth catching.
STM passes are getting pricier next week. Monthly fares going up, so grab your current pass while you can.
Reddit's Montreal crew is pointing out that the main stage at Jazz Fest sits way too high up — literally at the top of a hill on Place des Festivals. Better view would be on the other side. Fair point or overthinking?
People buying La Ronde's prestige pass (which comes with two free friends passes) are confused—can you use both passes on the same day? No clear answer exists, and the park isn't picking up the phone.
Planning a bachelorette this summer? Someone's looking for spots with Gasolina and Noche de Sexo energy—the days of Radiolounge, 1234, and the Loft. The city's debating whether that vibe actually exists anymore or if it's gone for good.
Someone's asking where to kill time between 1 and 5 a.m. waiting for morning metro service if a concert runs late. The real problem: if you catch an Angine show ending around 10:30 p.m. plus crowd time and walking, the metro might be closed by the time you reach the station.
Flair is adding a Montreal–Punta Cana route starting December. Locals on r/montreal wish it started sooner, but hoping the carrier expands service next year.

Brian Cranston's got Montreal family. His great-grandfather was from the city—something that tracks given how many Canadian actors blow up in the States.
Nathan Saliba used to be a ball boy for the Montreal Impact. Now he's a pro player scoring in the World Cup. The full-circle story Montrealers needed.
Travelers hitting YUL are pissed: Uber and Lyft pickups moved to the end of the terminal and now you gotta schlep your luggage way farther. Everyone's asking why they changed something that was already working.
About 50 police cars rolled down Sherbrooke Est this morning. Reddit's losing it trying to figure out what happened — no word yet on what the call was.
r/LostAndFoundMtl didn't take off for years after launch but has picked up serious momentum recently. If you've lost or found something in the city, worth checking the sub.
Toronto and Vancouver are facing $380 million and $685–729 million price tags respectively for hosting 2026 World Cup games. Montreal's decision to withdraw from bidding is looking pretty smart right now.
heads up: intelcom scam going around. people getting texts about Amazon packages with sketchy links. the weird part — they're hitting work phone numbers that aren't on any profile. stay alert.
Montreal Jazz Fest kicks off tonight and someone made a site to build your own schedule — favourite the shows you want, see it all mapped out, share with friends. way better than scrolling the official site.
Someone's asking if it's cool to bring 7- or 8-year-olds to Piknik Elektronik during daytime. Has been ages since they went, back when kids weren't on their radar.
