MONTREAL - Grand Prix madness is revving up and we've still got three days to go before cars start roaring around Circuit Gilles Villeneuve...
...It's about shutting down Peel St. between Ste. Catherine St. and de Maisonneuve Blvd. for four full days, a first for the merchants who lobbied long and hard for permission from the city of Montreal.
...the street will be pedestrian- and - more important - tent-friendly, for four days and nights, from 9 a.m. Thursday to 9 p.m Sunday.
The fancy cars will be back on Peel: 40-plus Ferraris on Thursday night, Lamborghinis, Fiats and Austin-Healys on Friday, Rolls-Royces, Bentleys and a rare Maserati on Saturday, and assorted Porsches on Sunday.
