    The Bulletin: Flipping city institutions and whole streets open for 24h [Issue #55]

    The Bulletin is a collection of what's happened, what’s happening, and what’s to come in and around Montreal.

    We've got a lot to catch you up on.

    We know the coming new year puts renewal on everyone's minds, but all the news this past week's been a little more than coincidental: Cinema Imperial could close, Notman house could close, the old NFB headquarters could become social housing, and the design for the new Victoria hospital on the McGill campus has been announced.

    The new year's also a time for nostalgia, apparently, as seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady explored an alternate reality where he had a baseball career with a new weird commercial for his Montreal Expos rookie card.

    And all of that's just scratching the surface for this week's Bulletin.

    Read on, and see for yourself.
