It's a mountain, OK? Plus it's so important to Montrealers that there's a law that no buildings are allowed to be taller than the mountain.<br /><br />I should also point out, that while the Biodome is indeed where you say it is, the towering, imposing mast-like structure and adjoining bowl-like structure is the Olympic Stadium. The much smaller Biodome is adjacent to the stadium..<br /><br />When you return to Montreal (and you will), I will be pleased to provide remedial lessons. Your tour guide must have glossed over too many of the finer points of the local points of interest.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-83142238631106135842014-03-09T07:37:34.779-07:002014-03-09T07:37:34.779-07:00I like the view from Mount Royal.
