Cote-St Paul: Sept 2010


Cote St Paul (CSP) is that dead zone stuffed in between Verdun and St. Henri tangled in the tentacles of the Turcot interchange. Mostly abandoned and desolate, save for a few businesses and storage areas, this drab stretch of industrial waste land is also a major cross roads to some long running spots like CBR and Stinky's. Recently it has also become the new home for an annual graffiti jam: Can You Rock? (formerly Meeting of Styles) that has a solid spot on Cabot Street. If you missed out on the last jam then you can check my posts here and there.

And the area is drenched in tags and throwies from end to end. You could spend enough time out of your day trekking around CSP and all it has to offer. I've been going through this area pretty regularly since 2003 and have always enjoyed the little sanctuaries that I find, especially CBR. Yeah, I know its a bombing spot with nothing really pretty in it on the usual but its got character and its one of the longest running spots for bombing around that I know of.

Here are my shots from Sept 2010, again forgive the late posting, I'm catching up. I'll have Stuff from TA, Turcot, and the streets up soon.

 Bosny show tonight at SubV and a Sohoe/Getso show. More soon so stay posted.

Chinatown, Old Port, MSK, and stuff in between

Hey folks, the laptop is still down and out but the good news is I haven't lost anything. It'll just take a little time to transfer all my pics and stuff. I got some good flics here from mid September when MSK was still in town for Can You Rock? and the tattoo convention. I knew last time Norm was in town he was running around with Sake bombing up the Old Port and the surrounding environs. So I figured if I was going to find anything by these cats that it would be in that general area. Although I didn't find much in the Old Port, I did bench some good flics from Chinatown. Also got some locals in the mix too. I've got more from MSK while they were in town but I just have to put it together. I'll throw some more in the next posts to come when I come across them.

I'm also going to be dropping more from the vault as I have plenty to share. Interviews, writers corner (featuring guest authors), writer and crew focus pieces are also going to be some upcoming features to the blog in the coming months. So keep posted for some fresh stuff from in and around the Montreal area. For now enjoy these shots.
