There’s a lot of work going on next to the Monument National on Saint-Laurent in Montreal. Almost the entire block north of the venue looks like it’s being gutted or renovated.

Marché Bonsecours in Old Montreal, this past fall.
It was very pleasant weather for mid-November. The leaves were still turning (as you can see) and there hadn’t been too much snow, if any, by the time I went on this pre-Christmas visit to my birth-city.
The stately marché is currently home to merchants who sell such things as high-end souvenirs, artisanal goods, designer clothes and jewelry. There are also a public spaces for exhibits and concerts, plus a medieval-themed restaurant on the ground floor.
