OK. I said I was finished. And I was. I did cover every single street on my map. But I got bored once my project wound up, so I bought myself a new map. One that covers WAY more territory than my old one. For those of you who live in Montreal, you’ll understand when I say this map extends way up into the wilds of Laval and down into the South Shore, areas which, to a cloistered NDG person like myself, seem like the ends of the earth. I figure this expanded project should last me till I die, so I’m good for a while yet. My tombstone will say “she walked.” Or the equivalent in Hebrew. I was walking along Jarry Blvd. the other day, and passed the gorgeous tuk-tuk pictured above. Will definitely try out the restaurant next time I’m in the hood. On avenue Van Horne, I came across an overgrown field near the corner of St. Urbain, that’s filled with funky metal sculptures. There’s no sign that I could find to say who created them. A mystery. But worth a stop. And in my never ending search for topknots, this residential example on Van Horne.

According to the book Secret Montreal - a sculptor took over a vacant field near his studio and started putting up art at dusk in 1999. The city has more or less allowed him to continue. It is called the "Twilight Sculpture Garden" and it is by Glen Le Mesurier

Thanks for filling me in. I've been wondering about it.
