M-Day minus one

Ms Mushrooms lands in Montreal tomorrow. In the middle of what is probably the last heat wave of the summer. One cannot escape this in Montreal.

How do I tell her that people no longer smoke in bank lines and Steinberg's hasn't existed in at least 15 years. Okay, she already knows these things in theory, but her Montreal nostalgia may be in for heart-wrenching reality check when she witnesses non-smoking bank lines with her own eyes.

And the Seville theatre. The dilapidated, abandoned building is now being turned into condos? Better than the eyesore it has been for years. But Cinema V is still abandoned. Woe is us.

Cinema V + Mel: "It lives now only in your dreams".

Well, something like that.

I gather me and Mrs. Anonymous will be stepping out for supper with you sometime during your week here. Till then...

Sorry - "It lives now only in your MEMORIES".

I knew it was wrong the minute I typed it.

Thankfully, one only has to google "Road Warrior Screenplay" to verify it.
