That’s a photo of the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto, where advertisers can pay to have their corporate logos and brand names displayed in shrubbery by the side of the highway.
In the 1980s, an entrepreneur asked the city of Montreal to let him to do something similar on the falaise, former Montreal city councillor Sam Boskey tells me. The city turned him down.

Hopefully we can avoid having corporate logos and advertising as the solution. Is there any solution for any type of a problem any more that doesn’t need corporate world and it’s practices?
Enjoying this blog… Keep it alive.
Best,
Hi, really nice pictures of a unique area. Did anyone comment about when the immigrants (Italians) grew hanging tomatoes up the side of this cliff. Before my time, but I heard of it. I was under the impression that this embankment runs the length of the island. Did you ever check out the limestone cliffs behind the “water reservoir” between McGill & the Royal Vic?? thanks, Tom Donlan
