Montreal is where the Old World stops and the New World begins. This transition starts at Old Montreal. Icons of the old world with the new world background. Going up river from Montreal we find West, Great Lakes and the New World, a place where we can explore and reinvent ourselves without worrying about what our pre-ordained place in the world is. Old World is down river, across the Ocean, with all its habits, biases and unresolved issues. On a crisp Spring evening, the old and new combine into a comfortable in-between-place, a somewhat imperfect but workable blend. Old Montreal, meeting of the old and the new, in quiet harmony.
