Atwater Market
Blog: Curves and Levels - 9 August 2009
By: Michael Farrell
Corn Season! Finally ripe from Quebec's vast fields, city dwellers can now get the fresh stuff. "Picked this morning," was the promise at this venerable institution next to the Lachine Canal. (Google Map) Opened in 1933, Atwater Market operates out of an impressive art-deco structure (complete with clocktower), selling meats, cheeses, breads and other foodstuffs on the inside and surrounded by fruit and vegetable stalls supplied by the region's growers.
Come and visit for an afternoon and you'll be most of the way to having a good Montreal day. The following pictures are impressions from yesterday, presented in no particular order.
