Dispatches from the Quebec bank

Shorter pieces that do not fit the reference pages: how a weekend actually runs, what to do on a show night, and how the river crossings work. Each one is dated and sourced like the rest of the site.

Why a journal

Reference pages answer "what is there". Dispatches answer "how does it fit together". Both follow the same rule: if we cannot point to a source, it is not printed. Corrections are welcome at the address in the footer.
