In the heart of Old Quebec City, this mural is a beautiful piece of art that also tells a lot about Quebec history. There are a lot of details to pick out if you care to look, and it's interesting to see, for example, the different types of clothes that people wear over many different time periods, all in the same mural.

The mural is in an open place so you can step back and appreciate the enormity of the art as it towers over multiple stories, but you can also go right up to it and examine all the details. My kids loved posing for photos and interacting with the mural.

It's free to visit and right next to the many restaurants and shops, so the area is full of life. Definitely worth a visit.

Forequarter is a small independent business that sources its meats from local farms. The staff is helpful and service is fast. Prices are significantly higher than what you would pay at the big grocery store chains, but for me, the increased cost is worth the value of supporting local businesses and farmers who aren't running large industrial operations. Of course, just being local doesn't mean that the products are exceptional. Fortunately, on this front, Forequarter provides top rate products as well. The prime rib I recently ordered was fresh, tender, and was enjoyed by the whole family, but I'll let you judge yourself by the photos. My family doesn't eat a lot of meat, but for the occasions where I want something special, this butcher shop will be high on my list. Definitely recommended.
