  I'm pretty darn sure they are and since there are now fountain and water connections, I've always wondered if well...you know...

  If there's one locale where the city shoud reinstate the public toilet, this would be it.

Bring back the Vespasienne, god dammit!

  Yeah, it's the vent shafts for the toilets. Same as the ones in Place d'armes and Square Philips.

  Those toilets were the first one built in Mtl in 1913. Then followed 19 others, in 3 different types, built as part of the public money to help during the 1929-30's crash. Those 20 public toilets, some underground some above grounds, were open 365 days a week, 24 hours a day until the 70's.

  365 days a week, they sure had long weeks back then, the loverboy song "everybodys working for the weekend" really applies

  the most impressive piss place in montreal today is hands down the bell center with like a hundred urinals in one place!!!

remeber next time you are at a hockey game, at any given time there is always someone pissing in the building!

  wasn't there archeologic search around 1990 ?
Posted by Emperor Wang 12/1/2007 5:57 AM | remove
  1991. But it was more concerned with the foundations of the Chateau to the south.
