Just a quick note to mention that I’ve added a new gallery to the site containing a good deal of historical photos that I’ve scanned from the Montreal City Archives.  Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of photographic material out there and next to nothing that predates the 1920s. Most of these were taken between 1955-65 and only really show the one style of construction that was popular at the time. Of course, I think the faces of the people in a lot of the photos more than make up for this.

While in Toronto this past weekend, I managed to take a (very) quick dip down into an overflow section of the Garrison sewer system. Thanks to Michael, Jon, Jeremy and Bryan for the short but sweet tour. I plan on setting aside an entire weekend in the near future to be able to see more of what this historic system has to offer.
