Just as iconic is the Montreal clothesline, strung on 3 levels along the length of terrace houses. They are like conveyor belts for clothes, and fantastically efficient.

It is sad that so many areas in North America banned the clothes line, a massive impact on the environment and incredibly expensive.
- shalmanese 10y agoI've always wondered about those, what happens if you insufficiently fasten an item and it ends up falling off? Do you just accept a certain loss rate of clothes as the price of doing business?

- Avernar 10y agoI remember those back when I lived in Montreal when I was a kid. We were on the top floor and I would attach an action figure with parachute to it. I'd send him out over the yard and use a string to release him. Back then we figured out ways to keeps ourselves entertained. No computers or tablets so it was either be bored or figure something out that was fun and wouldn't get you into trouble.... much.
