Origin: Montreal, QC
Cherchez La Moose: Montreal is Canada's coolest city. There's tons of diversity, an amazing music scene, a giant rollercoaster park on a separate island, a mountain in the center of the city, a Biodome, a Biosphere - the list goes on. Two of my favourite landmarks are Habitat 67 and Farine Five Roses. I thought that I had stepped into an alternate dimension the first time I saw Habitat 67 in person. No picture can do it justice - it's that awesome. I have always wondered what it would be like to live in one of the apartments. Farine Five Roses is a little more puzzling, in that it's really just a flour mill in Griffintown....but it's somehow so much more. Citizens of Montreal cherish it, fans have created blogs about it, and even musicians have tipped their hats to it (Miracle Fortress named their album Five Roses, for example). The building is situated close to the awesome indie venue Friendship Cove, and I'd always make sure to pass by the glowing sign on my bike after seeing a show.
