A wonderful post showing some very familiar territory! At 9:50 you pass an apartment building my grandparents lived in back in the 1970s and '80s. And up Claremont was my second home , a lower duplex - (I was two - a long time ago now!) Interesting to see how most of the old stores have gone - the Westmount Stationery, Chatfield's grocery etc. etc. but life is all about change. Thanks for the memories!
For Westmount, it is as vibrant as it can get. For Plateau, maybe not. In the Plateau the vibrant street is Mont-Royal Avenue. A video on that is coming soon.
