Photo Extravaganza Part 3

Our first real break on the way from Rivere-Du-Loup was a small town called Saint-Marc-du-Lac-Long. I would say this is typical of one of three Quebecs we saw. The first was Montreal - multicultural and a modern city in transition. Then there's Quebec City - historic and a vibrant mix of old and new, but surrounded by some odd kind of cultural bubble. Between places like those, you'd have this - a smaller scale, a different pace, one ethnicity, ONE language, and if you're lucky, one employer.

Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it

I liked this view, with the municipal building and the church visible across the lake.

For me, this is the image of Saint-Marc-du-Lac-Long - there was a bar here (you can still see the foundation in this picture) but it was demolished for whatever reason. There are many reasons why you might demolish a bar, but for me the real mystery is why on earth is the sign left standing? I can see the real estate ad copy now... "Lot for sale, ideal location for a bar named 'Bar St. Marc'".
