in my life and the second time I'd eat out at local places in Lachine. Loved a Mexican place I could bike to. And loved getting on the subway and people watch. Young lovers. Folk descended from every culture in the world. If you didn't have to speak and write perfect French to live there, every young Canadian would move there. So much culture.
