Beloved Montréal 1966 architecture of metro station archèd stairwell with snaking ceiling light and butterscotch-coloured tiles plus other colours.

In accordance with my religious beliefs I INTEND TO ACHIEVE ALL-KNOWINGNESS so that I can compile lists of the weirdest things that happened in the stairwell during each of the years of its existence. Then I'll publish it online: The list of weirdest things that happened in the stairwell in 1975, the list of weirdest things that happened in the stairwell in 1991, etc etc.
