Or, there’s always Gothic Estates …

This development has sandwich boards up all over the neighbourhood around my mom’s house:
http://www.gothic-estates.com

The street address actually is 32 Gothic Ave. And there’s a condominium going up at 20 Gothic Ave. too, although they don’t appear to be playing up the gothic angle quite so much, judging by the blue and sunshiney-sand-coloured pallette of their big billboard.

Toronto real estate, anyone?

  Montreal would be more interesting – I’m trying to wangle some work over there…

    Renting in Montreal is just depressingly inexpensive. Beautiful huge old flats with hardwood floors and high ceilings, for a song …
