Someone is sticking cut-outs of images, reminiscent of eight-bit video games, on walls in parts of the city. I’ve seen two around Kensington Rd. and 10 St. N.W., including the one above, and there was one on a wall on Memorial Dr. under the Centre Street Bridge, briefly anyway. I’m intrigued and will keep an eye out for more of these …

Back after a few weeks AFK.
Also (soon to be) back is Calgary’s venerable King Edward Hotel, a noted blues venue, which was carefully dismantled and rebuilt as part of the new Canadian Music Centre in East Village.
Above, how things looked a few weekends ago … and below, when the King Eddy stood alone at the corner of 9 Ave. and 4 St. S.E., almost five years ago.

The Montreal Transit Corp. (Société de transport de Montréal, or STM) recently began revenue service of its next-generation métro cars. Dubbed “Azur”, the STM’s MPM-10 rolling stock is being built by a Bombardier-Alstom consortium. The order is for 468 cars, assembled in nine-car train-sets.
As the newer-model trains are gradually delivered, they will replace vintage MR-63 rolling stock, in service since the Montreal métro opened in 1966.
I only got a brief glimpse of the new Azur train at the Mont-Royal métro station on my last trip to Montreal, on its second day of revenue service. Perhaps I’ll be lucky enough to ride one upon my next visit.

This passageway isn’t far from the Viktualienmarkt market square in Munich. This image was snapped on my visit there back in September.

Reaching back to the vat of photos shot in Phoenix back in November … and found this picture of a neat piece of street art off Central Ave. just north of the central library.
