So, hive mind. I haz some questions about Montreal! I know at least one of you lives there, and at least several of you know people who do. Please to be giving good advice?
Specially, what we wants to know is, right now we live in a nice academic neighbourhood close to the university and containing Jews, i.e. the Upper West Side of Manhattan. What's the closest Montreal equivalent?
If you're prioritising being close (30-ish mins walk, bearable public transport alternative in winter) to McGill and living in a nice academic neighbourhood, where would you live?
If you're prioritising being in Jewy McJewville (but not Orthodox Jewville), where would you live?
What *do* people who usually walk do in winter? Like, here, if it snows, you can theoretically walk but half the pavements aren't clear so you're wading through snow and it takes forever.
Where's a good art store? Where's a good fabric store?
