I realize Montreal is about a 6 hour drive or more from Toronto, but I thought maybe someone here may be able to help us out. My girlfriend and I are
planning a trip to Montreal in mid-July. We're from Ohio and have absolutely no idea what's cool to visit and do in Montreal. Any
specific places of interest we should check out? Please recommend restaurants, CD stores, guitar shops, higher end clothing stores, thrift stores, art
galleries, and anything else fun that you might suggest. Are there any areas where we can just park the car and walk around to a lot of interesting
shops?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

i don't remember it being that long, but maybe it is. last time i made the journey i took the coach, so i probably slept most of the way.
where are you based?
montreal is somewhat of an enigma. it's a pretty old place, so you can find some pretty interesting architecture to look at by just walking
around. one thing that i quite enjoyed was to rent a couple of bikes and go on a bit of a cycle tour, if the weather is good it doesn't really
matter where you go. i also remember that it was worth paying to enter some museum or light show or something because it gave you access to the
balcony of a tall building, allowing you to have a good look around. although my memory is a bit hazey, i'll post again if i remember anything
else.

I hear the strip clubs are amazing in montreal.
The night's as hot as hell. It's a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town - I'm staring at a goddess. She's telling me she
wants me. I'm not going to waste one more minute wondering how I've gotten this lucky. She smells like angels ought to smell, the perfect
woman... the Goddess. Goldie. She says her name is Goldie.

Meh, strip bars are overrated. As far as Montreal goes, they have the best Comedy Festival in the World, other than that I dunno what's on
offer.

my dad's side of the family is from St. Lambert, which is on the South shore of Montreal. I'll ask him what some popular stuff to do is
and I'll post it here soon.
Hey, thanks for all of the suggestions so far! However, we've decided to come back to Toronto instead. I'll probably bump my old Toronto
thread again for more suggestions.

..I remember when you didn't show at a Masonic show and it was either Chris or Justin gave shout out's to you and your womanly friend.
However, no such person from Ohio was to be found.
Saddening, is it not?

Aw, I didn't realize that. I feel bad now.
If I remember correctly, it was a 19+ show and at the time my girlfriend was only 18. We had concerns of her not being able to get in. It
wasn't until after we got home that I found out Chris had PMed me and said he could sneak her in. Any chance they have a show between 11th -
13th? We'll be there until the 14th, but we'll be leaving around 5 PM to head home.
