If you find yourself strolling through Toronto’s popular PATH keep your eye(s) open for the Metro Hall entrance. That’s the area in which you will find this large mural. What you make of it is up to you. That’s how art works, people.
What is the PATH? It’s 17 miles of underground tunnels filled with shopping, entertainment and things to do — and best of all, heat. Going underground during the winter makes Toronto the groundhog of metropolitan markets, and also pretty smart.

A horse drawn-carriage in Montreal
Montreal is a city that brims with beauty, history and charm. You can see these elements everywhere you move but there’s no area more quintessential for Montreal history and landmarks than the Old Montreal neighborhood.
