Sad photo of the day - Montreal's once-glorious rooftop pool

   Painfully cold days of winter used to be the time for Montrealers to start dreaming of summertime urban delights such as sipping beer at baseball games and sipping beer poolside in such joints as the Hotel de la Montagne rooftop and.. uh.. just generally sipping beer.
   This pic, taken from Charest_RakkoonLife's photo set on flickr, demonstrates that the pool doesn't look like it'll ever be rehabilitated, even though the redevelopment project appears to have been shelved and the hotel could have, technically, reopened when that was announced.
   As the ever-helpful Blork notes in the comments, the top-down demolition of the entire structure is now well advanced, as the building gets shorter by the day.
