There are now so long as I live my life in Montreal has become a habit. 13 years in metro-boulot-dodo. When I started, I nosed, I tried, I discovered ... Streets, bars, restaurants, shops. And then, in the lot, I found my happiness, I became a regular, redundancy, a parasite, an old hand. In this reassuring routine, I forgot the diversity and scope of Montreal. So on a beautiful Saturday and windy, we say, fret , I decided to go to meet a corner from Montreal to me unknown. A corner dubious reputation, not always transparent, which I heard over and over again. I named: Plaza St. Hubert .
Plaza Saint-Hubert was created in the late 50s, tactical Street merchants to combat large competitors already fierce. One of my aunts strong bearing on the shopping I've already talked about the years of the annals Plez . At that time, it is a cultural and economic well-attended at all Francophone Montreal. Claude Blanchard them laugh, Richard and Michelle Fernand Gignac to sing. We keep hearing about the Plaza CFTM-10; issue Ten out of ten, led by Réal Giguère, offers prices from the best shops in this street.
All this gave a time. In 1984, in a clear aim to revamp the eyes of a customer who runs out of steam, merchants of Plez are putting the very ugly marquee still present today. With this addition, we can now méguésiner outdoors while being sheltered from the weather. It's almost healthy! This is not sufficient to return the shops up to date and the decline continues for a good ten years.
Thus, the Plaza will become recognized as ...
wedding dresses,
leather,
the godasses,
rags,

Still, the Plaza is the Plaza still is, and foremost, the Kingdom of the wedding dress.
Finally, this day could not have been complete without ze ultimate experience! For the Rue Saint-Hubert, is also home to one of the largest catering companies in Quebec. There is therefore the first Rotisserie St-Hubert, now a delivery counter with a tiny dining room, cafeteria style. Although
I conclude with this jingle the pub for Plez, late 80s: "The Plaza St. Hubert, a street to be discovered!" And you is What the Plaza?
PS: Well, yes, I said, I'm not too foo-tag-string-of-emails-who-are-shit-mess, but every time I the read, I tell myself that I would like to discover a city through a blog as it is so tasty.
PPS: After I froze your ass for three hours and prepared to get down to writing, I realized that one had outdone. It had cooled a bit, hence the delay. 'Scuse it.
