Exile on Main Street

I always admired this strange yellow building at St. Lawrence and St. Catherine. I don't think I ever had any reason to go inside, although I think I did once. I went in and asked what kind of place it was and a very professional and presentable young woman explained some sort of service which involves men attaining the heights of orgasm. I salute anybody with the industry and initiative to set up a gimmick faux-sex joint. I can only imagine going in to a bank to get a loan for a place where customers put suction devices on their privates for sexual gratification. Anyway the place was owned by a guy in Malasia who didn't want to sell it but the city twisted his arm until it bled and now they're going to knock it down and put something guaranteed to harden the nipples of bureaucrats in all of French North America.

  2. Years ago, either that building (where the void is in the pic and bare beams) or the one just to the south was a porn cinema Eve. I remember doing menu deliveries at my dad's print shop to a restaurant around the corner (Dominique?), just east of St-Laurent, and getting a kick at the V in the sign which was a woman's legs in the air.
