Maybe you have to be a font geek to appreciate this: a gallery of signs around Montreal that use the font Mistral. The same people went further and added another gallery of signs using other fonts by the same designer.

Another photo site I think I've linked before, but which has since been added to and improved, is this site about Saint-Henri with rollover then-and-now effects.

A site mostly dedicated to genealogy has a page on 19th-century Montreal photographer Alexander Henderson with some nice early views of the city, and stereo views by J.G. Parks and Oliver Buell.

The city's official site has some interesting vintage photos of the Plateau, and added modern shots to some of them for comparison.

There are lots more Montreal photo sites, but these are ones I've found recently, mostly while looking for other things.

A slow news day, you say?
