- Spacing has good pieces today: the refashioning of Norman Bethune Square near Concordia, and another news roundup on Griffintown.
- City councillor Sammy Forcillo is dead set against plans to close Ste-Catherine Street to traffic between Berri and Papineau, all summer.
- The city left an open trench in the street near the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, and a visually impaired man fell in. He was lucky to escape with minor injuries.
- An alert commuter noticed that recycling bins at Central Station are emptied right into garbage bags, and CN has admitted to it, with vague promises for the future.
- The Canadiens pulled off a trick last night they've never done before: they came back from being down 5-0 to the Rangers in the second to win 6-5 in overtime. If anyone left the Bell Centre early to beat the crowds they have to be kicking themselves now. The triumph should lend a certain extra glamour to tonight's Canadiens tribute by the MSO under Kent Nagano: it's sold out but will be broadcast on Radio-Canada this evening.
