I always see a photo of Habitat 67 floating around Tumblr and Instagram. The photos always looked super dope and the architecture was unique!
I was planning my trip to Montreal from Buffalo and when I was doing my research, Habitat 67 popped up. So ill, I was going to see something I only saw virtually.
The drive was pretty challenging, especially in the snow! The traffic in Montreal is real, it reminded me of traffic back home in Los Angeles. The roads were damaged and potholes everywhere! It wasn't what I had envisioned for a city like Montreal but that's why traveling is amazing, it changes all assumptions or supports it...
Anywho, I made it to the highway in front of Habitat 67 and there is no parking to be found. I wanted to explore and take cool photos but it looked like I wasn't going to be able to do so. There is a parking lot but it's for residents and I had already received a parking ticket in Toronto. I saw the Biodome across the way and decided to visit there first and then figure out what to do with parking later.
After the biodome, I drove around a couple times and mind you there are no places to make U-turns, so be careful!
I was discouraged so I just decided that the highway didn't have too much traffic and at times it was deserted. So, i put on my emergency lights and took photos from my car window. It was the best option at the time.
Cons:
- no visitors parking
- extremely damage highway
Pros:
- Impressive architecture
- Located across the Biodome of Montreal
- Historic landmark
P.S. It's super unfortunate that the property isnt more welcoming to visitors near and far.
