"You can't rent a room at Hotel de Ville no matter how tired you are. And Rue Hotel de Ville is nowhere near it, really." It is hard to explain just how happy I am to be back. Every ten years or so, any given Montrealer will wig out and scream blue murder about how the city sucks and how everyone is too pessimistic. Some will even move somewhere else for a little while. The thing is, though, that Montrealers are rarely if ever happy anywhere but home now matter how many nice people they meet or excellent opportunities they are presented with. I am guilty on all counts.
