Montreal's Sainte Catherine Street: Future Shop and the former Le Parisien Cinema.
This block, on the south side of Sainte Catherine Street between Place Phillips (Phillips Square) and Saint Alexandre Street, is a rather long block for this part of dowtown Montreal. (The corresponding north side of the street is broken up by City Councillors Street between Aylmer Street and Saint Alexandre.)
The Future Shop opened at some point in the late 1990s; to be honest, I don't remember what was there before. The ground floor of the building it's in to the east of the main entrance used to be a Pharmaprix, which moved a couple of doors down to Sainte Catherine Street east of Saint Alexandre Street.
The Le Parisien Cinema was still open when I took this film photo in July 2006, but has since closed due to Cineplex-Odeon opening a huge French-language multiplex, Le Cinéplex-Odéon Quartier Latin, on Emery Street at Saint Dénis Street.
There's also Labyrinthe, which is a basement-level t-shirt shop, mainly music-oriented, which also has a small comic book shop attached from which I bought several of my anime t-shirts.
