I very much enjoyed your story about how you ended up in Montreal. I also fell in love with the city after doing my Master's degree at McGill. Montreal is a perfect fit for those who have experienced life in Europe as well as North America (and other countries too)and do not want to have to chose one over the other. It has an exceptional blend of North American, European, and and even Asian influences that makes it a truly unique city. It is interesting to hear all the stories about how many of us ended up here in Montreal, and I look forward to reading some of the other stories. I also am a former Chicagoan living in Montreal now.

I found your site while surfing the net and really enjoyed it. I love the articles and quality of your site. I linked your site to my food blog. This coming March 2009 I will be celebrating my 2nd year of a dinner group I created. Its called Cheap Ethnic Eatz...well because we go to relatively cheap ethnic restaurants. Not long after its creation I started a blog to do reviews of places we have discovered and I also write the occasional article on food or cooking. I also built and am currently writing a website on World Ethnic Food. I would very much like for you to consider adding my blog or website to you blog roll. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. http://cheapethniceatz.blogspot.com Thank you! Evelyne Hi,

It's fun to find people in a similar situation as myself. I didn't grow up in Chicago (Ohio, actually), but I lived there for 5 1/2 years before moving to Montreal in 2005. I am just at the beginning of applying for citizenship in Canada (and I intend to keep my US Citizenship). I don't know about you, but in response to Zulfikar's question, I'm still trying to make friends and have a social life... even after three full years! Nice site.

I'm a fellow Chicagoan (North side Lawrence/Kedzie)and I made a comment a few months ago when I was just starting to prepare for the move to Montreal with my Quebecoise fiancee. Now I've lived here for 3 months and it's wonderful but very different from home... the longer I am here the more subtle differences I see. By the way, when you moved here, how long did it take for you to start making friends and have some semblance of a social-life? Great blog!

I also noticed a bit of that trend you mention in other parts of town. It was one of my concerns when weighing the move since we had a newborn. Toronto is very very much like Chicago. Not as much crime, but it is increasing at the same rate. That said, I still love Chicago and always look forward to our annual return. moore2bee: Yep, it's the same club. We lived a block north of there and I went there from '78 to '85. My father is still active in helping out over there. Elvira: I grew up in NorthCenter and went to Gordon Tech. I also feel quite fortunate to have grown up there. Maya: Montréal's a great city. I guess I'm also in a bit of mood to be reinspired by the city. I'm glad you found the blog and hope it helps. Maybe I should go back and read some of my old posts. J.R.: We lived in Lakeview/Lincoln Park before leaving and that neighborhood could really wear on you despite all the things it has to offer.

I was amazed. I was born and raised in Chicago (with breaks here and there, living in Krakow, Poland) and have lived here in Montreal for the past few years while working on my undergraduate degree. I just finished college I am trying to stay in the city, though looking for inspiration to fall in love with it again as I did 4 years ago when I first visited. This is the reason for my current search of Montreal blogs. Finding this one really made my day. I stumbled upon this blog yesterday after I googled “Montreal blogs.” I was amazed.
