Along Maisonneuve there is a restaurant called Le Pois Penché, or the 'Leaning Pea' whatever that means, it has a ritzy looking France-style facade and red awning. The main reason to do this painting were the orange construction pylons. Our Mayor wants to rid downtown Montreal of orange cones so they are an endangered species now. I checked on google and this restaurant averages $100 per person, although it has 4.5 stars so it must be good. That's $22.22 per star, plus tax and tip.

Paix park is down on Clark street near China Town, its not somewhere I would hang out but over the years I have done a few paintings of it, like in
this blog which shows the interlocking brick lined with grass. I never knew there was a massive dome structure in the background because the trees always block the view in summer, and you can't see the dome from other angles. I happen to be walking with my bike north on Clark and saw it. No idea what it is, tried google but no luck. The shops around it are various retail and ... other types of establishments I wont mention here. Guess it used to be a planetarium or disco club maybe.
