Veteran photojournalist Ian Barrett snapped these three photos of the West End, where he compulsively snaps pictures, many of them quite excellent.
The top pic is of buildings painted black, possibly in anticipation of their impending demolition. The buildings at Girouard and Cote St. Luc were to be demolished as part of the Beaumond condo project.
Barrett has an exhibit of 220 NDG photos at the Gryphon Cafe on Monkland, whose owner Peggy I used to know a bit.
The second picture is of the Dad's Bagels joint on Sherbrooke which is closing in order to facilitate the expansion of the adjacent dollar store, while the third is a tattooed kid at the Honey Martin bar further west.
