La chapelle le 8 juin 2009
La chapelle le 6 février 2010
Construite entre 1893 et 1901, la chapelle du couvent des franciscains située sur le boulevard René-Lévesque et qui était fermée depuis 1997 fut détruite lors d’un violent incendie s’étant déclaré vers 5 heures du matin en date du samedi 6 février 2010.
Bien que sa perte soit tout de même déplorable, notez que l’intérieur était désormais passablement dégarni et qu’aucun objet ou oeuvre d’art n’a ainsi été réduit en cendres…

Best. Reality TV Show. Ever.
Not that it’s a very high bar. But since the masses have proven we’re ready to get riled up by any possible televised competition, from dancing to worm-eating, why not inject a little home-town pride into the contest?
La Série Montréal Québec pits Montrealers against our most despised rivals, Quebec city, in our proudest battle-ring: the hockey rink. Guy Carbonneau coaches the Montreal team, which consists of guys and gals, young and old, all with solid hockey-playing credentials.
To fuel the fire, each team composed a battle-song, a local artists’ hymn to their city.
Unfortunately, Eric Lapointe’s ode to Montreal sounds like someone reading aloud from the tour guide to a kinda generic rock-and-roll track. I guess I still got a little flutter of home-town pride when I saw the ad for La Série that played in Montreal (above).
There’s just one problem: Loco Locass’ hymn for Québec City beats our song hands down. The hip hop trio has composed a poetic tribute to their city’s long history and long winters; from First Nations to Carnival, from the riverbank to the plaine through the topographic ups and downs that are better traveled by stairs than by cars. (The lyrics are available on the youtube page).
Its so good I had to embed the full-length version below – I even head a rumor that mayor Régis Lebaume wants to adopt it as the city’s official anthem.
Sigh. At least we can take comfort in their other hockey song.
