Montreal plans to fundamentally alter its lush, mountain playground.The decision to close one of two roads up Mount Royal Park is the latest twist in a century-old debate over how to balance conservation of the wooded refuge in the city centre with the transportation needs of the metropolis. The park’s architect, Frederick Law Olmsted, is responsible for some of the most celebrated public green spaces in North America, including New York’s Central Park. But what the famous landscape artist would think of the closure of Camillien-Houde Way is unclear, says University of Pennsylvania professor emeritus and Olmsted biographer Witold Rybczynski.“It’s very tricky to try to figure out what a person like Olmsted would think of our world,” Rybczynski said in a recent interview. “He was a very pragmatic person.”Olmsted died in 1903, before car use became widespread. “I’m sure he would have something interesting to say about automobiles,&#...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:36:39 GMT

After years of frustration, Colorado Rapids fans have reached a boiling point.Over the last two weeks, supporters have heard from club president Pádraig Smith and executive Josh Kroenke as the team has spiraled down the drain, leading to the firing of head coach Robing Fraser on Sept. 6.Smith addressed the exit of his hand-picked coach and the state of the club, while Kroenke issued a statement that talked more about real estate than it did results. The latter came on the heels of a scathing letter from Centennial 38, the largest independent supporters group of the team, calling leadership to task for the current state of the Rapids.In the wake of these developments, we’re giving Rapids readers their say.

During Alex Singleton’s first day at the Broncos facility in 2022, the inside linebacker searched for an open seat inside the defensive meeting room, and he happened to stumble across a chair near veteran inside linebacker Josey Jewell.From there, Singleton and Jewell began talking football… and other things… and even more things.Soon enough, they were showing up to a road game against the Tennessee Titans in matching denim Canadian tuxedos, golfing, sporting similar facial hair and eating the same meals.
