I used to live in Terrebonne Qc, in a old stone house built in 1782, ten acres of land, 4 horses, a cow, chickens, geese,ducks, rabbits dogs and cats for 35 years. 8 years ago we moved in Lasalle, (montreal is at the next street corner) in a condo on the second floor. IF i look outside from my kitchen, I' m facing one of the biggest shopping mall. I do not need a car anymore, the bus stop is right at the door and the subway station is a 5 minutes walk, My husband had to have dialysis that is why we moved in the city. It is a very ethnic surrounding,Black, Chinese, Arabic, bilingual French and English.
