Montreal loves any excuse to shut down a street and we Montrealers love walking down the middle of the street without getting hit by a car (though we already jaywalk any chance we get). Two weekends in a row most of the St Laurent Boulevard - aka the Main - was closed for the sidewalk sale and we got to soak in the sun while spending money and eating street food & mango on a stick.
How do the locals of Montreal, Canada spend their summer? By shutting down a street so that vendors can setup shop in order to sell food, souvenirs, and other things.
