Chinatown, Montreal
Photographs of Chinatown in Montreal. It is a neighbourhood located in the area of De la Gauchetière Street. The area contains many Asian restaurants, food markets, and convenience stores as well being home to many of Montreal's East Asian community centres, such as the Montreal Chinese Hospital and the Montreal Chinese Community and Cultural Centre.
The area was once home to Montreal's Jewish community, with thousands of Yiddish speaking immigrants settling in the area from 1890 to 1920, as part of a Jewish quarter centred on Saint Laurent Boulevard.
The first Chinese immigrants to Montreal arrived in March 1877. Montreal's Chinatown emerged in the 1890s and belonged to the Chan, Hom (Tam), Lee, and Wong clan groups.
Many Taishan Chinese settled (all following the Leung Family) in the area because they worked for the railways and it was convenient for these occupations.
Among the first Chinese residents was Jos Song Long who opened a laundromat on Craig Street (today Saint Antoine Street). Most Chinese residents primarily spoke Toisanese, a sister language of Cantonese, and had moved from British Columbia and southern China to what had been a primarily residential area.
Initially, many Chinese Montrealers ran laundromats, as owning their own businesses allowed them to avoid the pay discrimination that they had faced in British Columbia.
Businesses such as laundromats required geographic proximity to its customers, and as a result, this type of business became quite common in Montreal, with Chinatown being largely commercially oriented.
In 1902, the area officially became known as "Chinatown", and specifically referred to several blocks centered on De La Gauchetière Street between Chenneville and Clark Streets. On these streets, many Chinese-owned businesses opened, notably restaurants and specialty grocers.
The neighbourhood was strategically located with modest-sized lots, affordable rents and close proximity to Saint-Laurent Boulevard, which attracted non-Chinese clients.
Over the years, Hong Kongers and ethnic Chinese refugees from Vietnam also set up shops and restaurants in the area.

London’s Saddest, Oldest and Most Mysterious Statue?

Could this be one of London’s saddest, oldest and most mysterious statues? In a quiet northern corner of the Dutch or Formal Garden in London’s Holland Park can be found the statue known as ‘The Melancholy Man’. The limestone figure is thought to have been created in the 16th century but by whom and from where it originally came remain a mystery. #melancholyman #hollandpark #london #londonhistory

      There is footage of pro Palestinian people in the parade as there is of every group. Indeed you can see footage of pro-Israel marchers arguing with pro-Palestinian spectators. However, I was not where the interruption took place. If I was I would have certainly filmed it as I have done at other parades around the world where protesters have interrupted parades such as at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade. Thank you for watching and for commenting. Merci.

    The words of a hypocrite who only supported the Nazis when it suited him and when his church was attacked he,serving his own interests as before,had a false change of heart. He knew, as did many others, the views of the Nazis towards the church as they deemed the Furher to be a Messiah. So no he was just a parasite who changed sides when the winds changed and only cared about his own interests. Had he cared about anyone else he would have spoken up years before they came for him.
