Someone's asking Reddit for witnesses to a transphobic altercation at La Ronde around 18 h Sunday involving line-cutting and slurs during the Titan ride queue. If you saw it or have video, they're asking you to reach out privately.
Just tried Ashton for lunch and got sticker shock. A couple of all-dressed steamés and a frite costs $25 minimum per person now. The burgers are barely thicker than McDonald's patties. Food inflation is real.
A restaurant on Ave Bernard in Outremont has been storing food waste in the alley instead of putting it out once a week as regulations require. The smell is unbearable and 311 complaints have been repeatedly ignored, a resident says. Looking for advice on how to get the city to enforce the bylaws.
If you're traveling to Montreal for a concert at Parc Jean Drapeau and staying at Quartier des spectacles, the walk is about an hour. Someone's asking if it's safe after dark and whether it's wheelchair-accessible—basically whether you should drive, take transit, or walk.
Trans march in Montreal faced heavy police response Saturday with riot squads and blockades at Village entrances. No vandalism reported during the march.
A loud bang shook St-Léonard Saturday morning around 8 a.m., with residents reporting a flash and ground tremor near Bélanger and Viau. People on the 95 bus felt it too. No official word yet on what caused it.
A $21.99 price tag on frozen Como pizza has Montreal Reddit users questioning whether the markup is actually justified for what's inside the box.

Walking around Montreal today, people noticed the streets felt unusually quiet — not fewer people exactly, but noticeably less noise overall.
Someone painted David Altmejd's bronze sculpture The Eye on Sherbrooke Street in front of the MMFA — the piece itself became the canvas. The painting's posted on Reddit if you want to see how it turned out.
Someone's giving away two free tickets to the AURA Basilique Notre-Dame experience tonight at 7pm. They couldn't make it and posted on r/montreal — first come, first served if you're quick.

ALPR (automatic license-plate reader) cameras are up in Old Montreal and locals are asking the real question: who's actually watching? SPVM? Federal government? Nobody's saying, and people are unsettled.
Someone spotted what they're calling Irish poutine — apparently the Irish took a spin on our fries-gravy-cheese thing. Locals debating whether we're about to get competition or if it's just fries with a different name.
There's a standout street mural on rue St. Antoine in St-Henri, just east of the Reno Depot. Off the beaten path but worth the detour if you're into the city's wall art.
Someone near the Plateau is thinking about starting a daily trash-pickup account inspired by creators like Marquize. The question: would bagging visible trash actually help, or just enable more mess?

A Reddit user is hunting for the exact beet hummus Café Replika used on their Simit 3 before it got pulled from the menu. RIP to a Montreal favourite.
