50 years for PVM
It’s exactly 50 years since the opening of Place Ville-Marie, one of the city’s iconic structures since the 1960s and still the fourth highest building in town. Photos from La Presse and a brief review of a new book about the building.

Checked out the book briefly at Renaud-Bray and she’s a beauty alright. Lotsa, lotsa pics, many I haven’t seen before, and dense enough on the text too. Available in french or english, but at $60 bones my bookshelf will have to wait.
Oh, and the plaza’s been sodded for the occasion. It’s quite surreal.

In case anyone’s interested, the introductory pages of the book are available here. Worth a browse, if only for the 2 full-page period photos.
