January photo mysteries

    This great-looking old Raelian stretch limo with a mandatory space alien antenna on the roof was pulled from its extended garage and driven to St. Urbain and de La Gauchetiere early Sunday morning where it was snapped at about 9 a.m. outside of the Noodle Factory restaurant and the Da Tang Massage Parlour.
   Claude Vorilhon, now 68, based his alien sex cult around Montreal where it was a significant force until about 2003 when a newspaper writer infiltrated the group and wrote embarrassing articles about their practices.

Coolopolis mused recently about the possibly-growing fashion trend of women wearing electrical tape as clothing so now we have to give equal time to bubble-wrap as a fashion option.
   This man was snapped on the Main in the middle of Trustafarian Town below Pine. He had a sign that said "pop my bubble."
   We're still trying to figure out what his exact plan for world domination might have been.

Joe Pappo Furs at Sherbrooke and Wilson has discreetly closed after about 54 years in business.    A woman in her sixties was tending the place for the last few years and was generally discreet and none-too-talkative, a comportment required in places with valuable inventory.
   Her presence became increasingly erratic and then she simply stopped showing up
   There's still paperwork on the desks inside.
   The name of the business is also stenciled on the stone behind the sign so if the awning gets taken down there's still a second one to get rid of.

  1. It's too bad. Fur faux pas aside, It is one of the few "Golden era" businesses left in the deeg. I remember when Tony's Gala closed. I used to love walking passed those creepy mannequins. What's left? There's La Contessa on Sherbrooke and Royal.
