Côte-des-Neiges

From Rap Dictionary

Côte-des-Neiges (aka Uptown or UPT) is located to the north and west of Mount Royal and is composed of the districts of Snowdon (from MacDonald Ave. until Côte-des-Neiges Rd.), CDN (or Côte-des-Neiges, from Côte-des-Neiges Rd. until de Vimy Ave.) and NJT (or Namur-Jean Talon, commonly named after nearby Mountain Sights Ave.). Côte-des-Neiges has historically been a section with a high immigrant population which includes those of West Indian, Sri Lankan, Indian, Bengali, Philipino and Cambodian decent. Public relation among its residence and Montreal Police have been strained for years in this district, especially among young people. Although Côte-des-Neiges is a large area with many middle class working neighbourhoods, parts of it has been rifed with gang violence and the prolification of narcotics, especially through local Blood sets.
