After about two years forced hiatus from my walking project, thanks to Mr. Covid and incidentally getting hit by a truck and ending up in the ER on one of my walks, I’m back to criss-crossing the streets of Montreal. I started off with an industrial walk, along St. Patrick, west of Atwater. I stumbled across what I thought was a playground combining old factory equipment with coloured tubes. Turns out I was way off. It’s a bike hitching post made with old industrial sewing machines from a former factory in the area. The colourful tubes are meant to represent the thread that used to run off of the machines. Almost across the street, saw the infamous pink house, way up at the top of the abandoned Canada Melting Plant silo. Was it Spider Man who clambered up to there to give it a paint job and spruce it up with flower boxes and curtains?

"Well, I’m here to tell you my project wasn’t dangerous at all. Unless you want to be picky and count the time I got hit by a truck and ended up in hospital with a cracked skull. But it wasn’t dangerous in the way they meant."
