U-pick of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries - this place seems to be open all the time, others are open just particular days/times. All three species are to be picked till September 6! Yes, special breed of long-playing strawberries. http://abelisle.com/horaire.php?id=2
Admittedly, my interests are on the "family fun" side, but anything and everything would be welcome here.

^^ The airplane watching sounds very cool. The parks, too!
If you can get your hands on a radio that broadcasts the aircraft band the experience is heightened substantial as you listen to pilots communicate with tower or ground control.
I used to love to go to Atwater Market with my mom as a kid. The seafood selection during the summer months was awesome!
I'd never been to Jean-Talon Market. I just did a street view on Googlemaps and it looks huge, but the area around it looks pretty iffy/rough. Is it?
