The famous sink hole on Somerled Avenue

This has been on the television news and reported in newspapers, how a huge sink hole appeared overnight on the corner of Somerled Avenue and Mariette Avenue. There have been bigger sink holes, for instance on Ste. Catherine Street where a car disappeared into the sink hole. This present sink hole was just beginning to be dealt with when I happened to walk by, already a video photographer from a local television station was present recording the sink hole for that day's TV news, it was Monday at 10:00 a.m., May 5, 2025.






A few weeks ago water was gushing from the asphalt from a street near here. It was repaired but, yesterday, I see it was not repaired properly. Photos below:

Montreal City Hall, mid-1920s

I found this drawing in someone's garbage in downtown Montreal; on Simpson near Wilder Penfield (I believe). On the rear of the drawing is a paper saying that it was framed in 1925, at a framing store on Notre Dame Street. The drawing shows, on the left, Montreal City Hall, and just over to the right is Place Jacques Cartier, a popular tourist location that leads down to rue St. Paul and the Old Port. The artist's name is William Lopp? Sopp? I don't know...
