Montreal Travel: Grand Views from Belvedere over Downtown Montreal
Posted by admin in Condos Sunday, 8 May 2011 01:46 9 Comments
FromAugust 12 to 14, 2009 we spent three days in Montreal, primarily to watch the Rogers Cup, one of the premier events on the ATP Tour. Given that we are ardent tennis fans and have been attending the Rogers Cup in Toronto for many years, we decided to expand our tennis horizons and travel to Montreal this year. We had a chance to see the world elite of mens tennis players competing in Montreals Uniprix Stadium which is located in Jarry Park. We spent two days at the stadium with our matinee tickets and saw all top 10 tennis players either compete or warm up on one of the side courts. Competitors included world number 1 Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Andy Roddick and many more. Attending a tennis tournament mid week is great because you see so much action, both in the main stadium and on the side courts. Watching Marat Safin practice bare-chested and tossing one of his rackets against the fence was definitely one of the highlights of this excursion. We also had a bit of time to explore the city and enjoyed a nice dinner on Prince Arthur Square on the first day. This cobblestoned pedestrian street holds a large collection of restaurants and is buzzing with people at night time. We even played some tennis ourselves at Parc Lafontaine, an expansive public park that features a large pond and a variety of recreational facilities. On Friday morning we also spent some time in Old Montreal and the Montreal Port area, one of Montreals primary tourist draws. This …
Florida Travel — Miami Travel: Bicycling in Downtown Miami and Miami Beach
As the cold weather starts to settle in over Canada, it’s always a real treat to get away to a warm and sunny destination. And there is no closer and more convenient destination from Toronto than Florida. So I used up some of my Airmiles to book flights for my husband and me to Miami. On November 27, 2010 we arrived at the Miami Airport, picked up our rental car and drove north to the City of Weston, where we would be spending a week at the Mizner Place Resort in a well-equipped one-bedroom apartment. On Sunday, November 28, 2010, I drove south into Miami to do some sightseeing where I visited Villa Vizcaya, an opulent mansion that was constructed between 1914 and 1919 for James Deering, an industrialist and heir to the International Harvester fortune. Built in a Venetian and Renaissance revival style, this National Historic Landmark impresses with its interior courtyard, its formal reception rooms, lavish private living quarters and its breathtaking location on Biscayne Bay. My explorations continued on Monday with a trip into downtown Fort Lauderdale where I explored the Las Olas Riverfront. Las Olas Boulevard is Fort Lauderdale’s most popular shopping avenue and the Las Olas Riverfront is an entertainment complex that features several restaurants, nightclubs and retail outlets, all set on a scenic waterfront promenade along the New River. On November 30, 2010 I headed off again to another interesting destination in Miami: the Spanish Monastery at St. Bernard de …

The developer gave up on selling the residential condos the traditional way, even though the agent had cash offers at $300/sf. Instead, they’re being auctioned, with opening bids around $300/sf. Go figure.
