Le Living Room

Montreal has always had a reputation for fine dining. Food is king here in the city along with the club scene. Along with that scene and food is of course events. Banquet halls dot the city and one that stuck out in my mind is Le Living Room Situated in Mount Royal.

Touted as a private club with in house chefs this banquet centre can meet the needs of those hosting events ranging from weddings to corporate functions. What I liked about this site was it's simple hi we are here take a look at what we can do attitude. No flash no glitz no fancy graphics gives the impression that this group likes to keep it simple and professional. This does not mean they do not handle big complex banquets but, it does show that they are interested in keeping the overload of information to a minimum, at least that is the impression I get.

8000 square feet of space that can be transformed to suit the needs of a small or large group are available for whatever event one has a desire to host. Le Living Room is located on Paré near the old Blue Bonnets/Hippodrome Montreal. The Jean Talon West 92 bus route goes to this location but, I suggest you drive to the location. Or, better yet contact them by phone or email for a consultation.

Toilet Sgins

Have you heard the expression maybe you need a hobby? This guy took that to heart and found one. Collecting pictures of toilet signs. The blog has over 300 pictures of signs from various types of locations including restaurants and airports. The idea is to showcase toilet signs as art. Hey that is what is posted on the blog no foolin.

The blog shows the last entry as August 24, 2009. If you want to look or contribute to the blog you can do so by sending a note to toiletsigns@gmail.com. I do have to say that some of the signs are very cool. It really is interesting to see some of the creative artwork that has gone into these signs. What is really interesting is the international scope of the works displayed on the blog. Many are from South America but, I did see some from the U.S. and Israel as I did a quick look around the blog.. The blog is called Toilet Signs and it's at http://toiletsigns.blogspot.com.
