    ^ I saw a new urban area density chart that indicated that Toronto has overtaken LA as the densest urban area in the Canada and the US. Someone posted it on skyscrapercity.

    Toronto Pace Condos | 146.3m | 42s | Great Gulf | Diamond Schmitt

    I live just a few blocks further East of the Dundas and Jarvis intersection (on Pembroke St.) and I don't see what all the fuss is about how "bad" this neighbourhood is. My street in very quiet and is lined with beautiful old houses and small apartment buildings and apart from the occasional...

    How Liberal is Toronto?

    One could argue that the regulation of alcohol is a liberal thing in much the same way that the regulation of smoking in public is considered a liberal practice. For example, places that are drinking and smoking free-for-alls tend to be populated by uneducated (conservative) rednecks.

    Scott Pilgrim film takes on Toronto!

    No, he's Canadian. He was born in London and lived in North Bay before moving to Toronto. He lives in Asheville, North Carolina now because his wife is an American and that's where she's from.

    Scott Pilgrim film takes on Toronto!

    As a North Bay guy I'm really looking forward to this. The author used to live in North Bay and he wrote that the "Kim Pine" character in the comic attended Nipissing University. She's actually the second comic book character to attend the university (the first being Elizabeth in For Better or...

    Helicopter ride over North Bay - lots of pics!

    ^^^ I think the NORAD facility and the fact that CFB North Bay used to be home to a squadron of fighter jets definitely had something to do with the size of the airport, but nowadays there are only about 500 military personnel left at the base. Those sprawly new subdivisions in the trees are...

    Um... Harper isn't from Alberta, he was born and raised in Toronto - East York to be precise.

    Helicopter ride over North Bay - lots of pics!

    Wow, this thread has been brought back from the dead! haha The last thing I read about the hotel/convention centre was that the hotel was going to be a 6 storey Hilton Garden Inn and that the project is planned for the former Uniroc site which overlooks Lake Nipissing on Memorial Drive. I...

    U.S. Elections 2008

    I'm glad Obama won, but let's not overlook the fact that he's still pretty right-wing by Canadian standards. He opposes full same sex marriage, he supports the war in Afghanistan, he's pro capital punishment, he's a church going Christian etc. I found this article on the CTV website, pretty...

    More Wallaceburg decay

    I was born in Wallaceburg but raised in North Bay. I used to go there every now and then to visit my grandparents, but since they passed away I don't have much reason to visit anymore. I still have lots of relatives in the area though, and the last time I was in town was a little over two years...
