One of my favourite bookshops, S.W. Welch, is moving from the Main to Mile End digs on Saint-Viateur, exchanging smoked meat for bagels as you might say.

Also, apropos smoked meat, a new documentary on Schwartz's (youtube link) opens this week at ExCentris and Cinéma du Parc. It profiles the venerable deli and includes a vignette of Ryan Larkin panhandling at the door.

On a tangent, thinking of animation, the Oscar-winning anim The Danish Poet is watchable on the NFB site, a nice gesture considering how few outlets there are for shorter movies. It's 15 minutes long and narrated by Liv Ullman, in English.
