I've never seen spiral stair on the outside of a building before. And gosh those stairs look steep. Must be hell in high heels.

Hi all,

Donna,

Outdoor spiral staircases are a distinctive feature of Montreal architecture. (You'd think that in a city that has to submit to a six-month winter they'd have thought of building the stupid things indoors but, no! Go figure.

) Still, they're might pretty in the summertime. (And, yes, it's not always easy negotiating this kind of twisty "vertical tunnel" while wearing a pair of strappy heels; last time I tried it, on Halloween, I drew a round of applause from the guys at the garage across the street.

)

Here's a few more Montreal staircase shots.

Love,
CJ

oohh. I like those. I installed a metal spiral staircase in an older house I remodelled once. Might be worth a visit to Montreal . . . do they have many houses with mid-19th century french-style mansard roofs?

Hi all,

Alexandra,

We have tons! And not just in the older parts of town. Here's a pic I took back in the late summer:

Love,
CJ

P.S.
If you ever do decide to come up for a visit, look me up. You know where to find me.

Cool! Its too bad modern archecture doesn't include these neat touches anymore.

ps: I'll come during the summertime so we can wear heels!

We haven't had any snow yet

We rarely get snow here as we live on the South Coast, though they have had snow up North.

I love snow when it melts the next day or within a week.

Hi all,

The worse the winter weather gets, the more I appreciate some of the features on my car I bought in April:

antilock brakes (better control and straight stopping on icy roads), heated outside mirrors (no scraping them and then having to readjust), Heated leather front seats (on a freezing day happiness is a warm tush).

Now if something can be done about making those white cars more visible.

I WANT SNOW!!!

Here in the Bay Area if we want snow we have to drive minimum 4 hours to see it. We make it a vacation. The weather here is SOOOOOOOO boring. Sun, sun, sun sun, sun, sun, sun, oops rain, little more rain, then some sun, then little rain, then back to 6 or 7 months of sun. How boring is that?

Hi girls,
I just noticed this thread, even though its a couple weeks old. Just had to add my $.02

Carol Ann, girl can you believe that it snowed here on christmas!

Okay, so we had more sleet than snow. But still!
We had slush-ball fights in the front yard. Truly unbelievable.

Anyway, temps are back up around 65~70 degrees now. (Typical wet winter weather for N'awlins)

Hugs,
Kyra

P.S. - I miss the snow, too!
