Saturday Photo: Start of Construction

The photo was taken about a year ago when construction began in earnest for the new Université de Montréal satellite campus.  What I wanted to show was the concrete delivery in the background, because I was beginning to think about Rock of Ages: How Concrete Built the World as We Know It.

Happy to say that the writing has begun now: have a plan and about 20 pages written.  Will take a while longer, but it's nice to think that I'm on my way.

That will be such a change? Is that on the northern Outremont side or the Parc-Extension side? There are already buildings affiliated to UdM (unless I'm mistaken) on Parc just south of Jean-Talon and the Parc station.

This unfortunately has a negative impact on some Parc-Ex residents and shopkeepers (though the latter might find a new clientele).

Hey Mary! This post and a post above are hard to read because of formatting issues. Maybe put a between the text and the pic. Happy holidays, BTW. Jack
