    The Bulletin: Mafia patrons shut down a local brasserie, a Mile End landmark retrofit, a research school beach party,  Montreal’s new Holocaust museum, and other oddities [Issue #10]

    From a pizzaghetti party and a fight club inside a swimming pool to local media seeing shutdowns and cutbacks and a Montreal-themed restaurant opening in Washington, D.C., this edition of The Main’s Montreal Bulletin—a collection of what's happened, what’s happening, and what’s to come in and around Montreal—is going to be a weird one.

    And not that we mean to sound like your parents, but try to stay warm during this weekend’s cold snap. Those of you heading out can check this out for inspo:
