Anarchy in the City

Life in the city has its hazards, crime, pollution and in some cases rioting. This week in Montreal the down side of city life was on display, the Montreal Canadians won the first round of the Stanley Cup play offs and celebrated long into the night. While they were celebrating the Wu Tang concert let out and those drunken fans met up with the drunken hockey fans and madness ensued.

Evil Gentleman over at citynoise has put together a collection of photos taken in the aftermath of the 'party.' Sometimes Urban life isn't pretty.

The Threat of Aristocratization

The Onion has this great little article that may help put gentrification into perspective for those of us 'elites' who don't understand what all the fuss is about when people say that gentrification is a problem. Personally I think that gentrification is pretty good... BUT only if there is an concerted effort for the maintenance of affordable housing within the neighbourhood. Either way be sure to check out this Onion Article it made me laugh and I think it will make you laugh too.
