Lousy weather; it rained for 3 days straight, on and off. Same old, same old. Just as many dinks as usual, just different faces. But I've got a question for our brothers up north of us. Are all people from Montreal a**holes or just the ones that come to americade? The locals dislike them a great deal, due to lousy tipping, loud mouths and just plain being obnoxious.

I'm from Montreal. I hope that I don't fall under that catagory? I was at the Formula 1 race here this past weekend though so at least it wasn't me!!! :P

I don't understand the people who don't tip well. 15 to 20% at a bare minimum. The service industry pays crap and the people who work it count on their tips for their income. Very rarely have I met a person not deserving of a tip.

As for being rude and obnoxious, I understand that even less.

Yes, weather was very disappointing, but we were really spoiled last year. I probably would have been more bummed, but had gotten a lot of miles in the past few weeks. They did really well on rain gear...lol.

The weather gave us opportunity to find restaurants closer to where we were staying......lol.....And we found a few great ones in Bolton Landing....

Now I feel better over missing it this year. Rain sure does put a damper on outside activities. Maybe we'll get lucky again next year like we did in 09.

I'm all for having a great time, but come on you don't have to be rude to wait staff and servers, that's BS.
