After 10 years in a parking lot off Blvd. Saint-Laurent, MURAL's Block Party is now calling Mile End home. Set to take place in the open air space Aire Commune made popular for thousands of people from 2017 to 2019. MURAL promises the 2023 edition to be 'more comfortable' as the space is larger and more comfortable. The music program will be unveiled soon, with tickets out for pre-sale on April 21.
Worthy to note: while Saint-Laurent will still be pedestrianized during the festival, the main reason for the move is because of construction getting underway for the new Montreal Holocaust Museum, which will fill the space of the parking lot area. The new museum is scheduled to open in 2025.

A developer's plans to convert the iconic Van Horne warehouse into a mixed-use project containing a hotel, offices and commercial space has been denied following significant pushback from the community.
Public opposition was strongest for the hotel, while most respondents were supportive of a rooftop terrace and restaurant. Most called for the project to include space for community organizations, believing it would help stave off further gentrification of the neighbourhood.
Concerns for the preservation of the warehouse's original design were made by Heritage Montreal, stating "the excessively large windows planned for the building and the addition of a wing to the west would not respect the site's heritage character."

Montreal’s most iconic restaurant might be one you’ve never set foot in. At least not yet.
A few days ago, Ivanhoe Cambridge announced the long-awaited reopening of the spectacularly Art Deco style Le 9e that once operated on the ninth floor of the Eaton’s department store.
Inaugurated in early 1931 – amidst the Great Depression – the restaurant was symbolic for its close association to an ocean liner, earning it the architectural designation of Streamline Moderne. The restaurant was closely associated with the life of downtown department stores, quickly becoming a place to see and be seen.
Closed in 1999 following the bankruptcy of Eaton’s, and protected under heritage designation in 2000, many talks were held over the last two decades by citizens groups and organizations such as Héritage Montréal on reviving the defunct space. Looks like things are finally on the move for this historic site, as work is underway to redevelop the former restaurant to also serve as a multifunctional space.
