Hey all you tourists...Montreal's "UNDERGROUND CITY" is a hoax!
There is no underground city. It's not Atlantis. There aren't underground trolls or tool booths to pay, there are no munchkins, candy houses, mud huts or igloos.
It's a mall people! A SHOPPING MALL, THAT'S ON THE BASEMENT LEVEL...THAT CONNECTS TO OTHER MALLS....
IT S A BASEMENT LEVEL STRIP ,MALL.
IT'S NOT:
* the 8th wonder of the world
* an underground community
* special
IT IS:
* filled with disgruntled employees willing to give bad customer service at the drop of a hat ( or dollar)
* dark
* filled with duplicate stores ( 4 "dynamites" - necessary? I don't think so!)
* filled with tourist groups "ooh-ing" and "ahhh-ing" as they are told that they are IN THE underground city ....
Jesus Christ.
I love tourist season
I also love hearing my associate tell them all to get their quarters out to pay the trolls......

i cant tell you how many times i've explained that the 'underground city' is merely a way to travel several blocks without dealing with -30 degrees in a blizzard not counting the windchill. that in summer montreal is gorgeous to see, and why not try st denis or st laurence or old montreal and stay ABOVE GROUND. seriously. i cant tell you how many times, but i can tell you its been EVERY time a tourist has used the words 'underground city'. duped dopes.
hi.

Sue making blog entries! I must be in some alternate universe where we all live underground and emerge only for two months of the year. Oh wait. I'm old enough to remember when the underground city was just an underground small town. Can't tell you how many times I thought I was lost when I passed an Aldo shoes, and said to myself "didnt I just go by here...?"
