Long live Montreal's stained glass treasures

This glorious animal grooming and pet food shop was, up to recently, an ugly old air conditioner repair place. It was then abandoned and boarded up. About a year ago it reopened with all of the gorgeous stained glass lovingly restored. Sadly, however, stained glass is getting fast removed for the more energy efficient alternatives. Homes and stores are getting theirs popped out and replaced with oppressive clear uniformity. Yet stained glass is still putting up a fight in Verdun, at places like this joint at Bannantyne and Desmarchais. They should get an award or something. I'll go over to the dollar store later and buy them some gold star stickers or sumpin. If you need your dog combed or something drop in there.
