Death: If we ain’t experiencing it, we’re seeing it all around us.

Folks are talking about the death of the Gazette. The death of the city’s festivals. The death of snap-crackle-popping streets. The death of a mega restaurant inside the Bell Centre. Chemical fires and Ohio potentially polluting our air. Shit is bleak.

But out of death comes life. Heck, Montréal en Lumière’s Nuit Blanche alone is going to fill the streets this weekend and is one of the best and worst ways we know this city can enjoy a night out with arts, snowboarding festivals, local businesses celebrating, and just plain old FUN. Shit ain’t so bleak.
