Montreal needs the main

“Montreal needs the main”

By Jessica Murphy on July 2, 2009



Surrounding Cabaret Café Cleopatre is a sex store and a nightclub, a vacant lot and sagging, boarded-up buildings with decades of grime ground deep into concrete and stone. On cloudy days the corner looks squalid. Sunny days don’t suit it.



To get inside, you push through a gaggle of tough-talking strippers on a smoke break and through the music… Continue

Cafe Cleo Rally save from expropriation

Save the main from 'culture'

We the Dead Doll Dancers are proud to be part of the performance /alternative scene of lower boul. st. laurent .

Preserving the 'facade' of a building is not developing/preserving culture or allowing for alternative inexspensive styles of performance art to flourish.

Apparently enjoying a hotdog,pitcher of beer, and seeing a dragqueen,burlesque , fetish events,punk rock show or a lap dance is not 'real entertainment'....

There has also been a steadfast very very angry refusal to… Continue

The city has been in cahoots to create a socalled 'quartier des spectacles' literally a big ass large arts plaza ,sector.

The thing is they are destroying a certainly well known and obvious redlight sector. its not like this particular little section of town is a surprise and it certainly does not come close to the infamous old 'Combat zone ' of Boston from back in the day..… Continue
