Meet You in St Louis

St Louis Square, Montreal, from a photo taken in October 2000. St Louis was a common name for places in Quebec; I once lived on St Louis Street, near Lake St Louis. King Louis IX was a pious and relatively enlightened King of France who abolished trial by ordeal, expanded the Inquisition, and persecuted Jews, thus making himself eligible for sainthood. A model Christian king.

    Please send that picture to Victoria city council to give them some ideas for Centennial Square. While they’re at it they can repaint city hall brick red.
