Only one member of the band was from Stratford (Richard Manuel), and the group was actually formed in Toronto.

I think the writer forgot about Niagara Falls.

My years of surfing the net have brought me to the conclusion that nine times out of ten the only people who are motivated enough to respond to an online article about a city are pathological complainers and hard-core ignoramuses with a chip on their shoulder. The other 10% are those who...

In his article, Hume was complaining about the exposed ducts and whatnot, but he obviously didn't even know that they were yet to be covered up by more signage, maybe he should have waited until the building was complete before he started moaning and groaning about certain aspects of it.

Thanks, yeah the airport is pretty huge, one of its runways is 10,000 feet long. North Bay has been going through a building boom over the last several years, Nipissing University has grown to be the largest single employer in the city and it brings in lots of new jobs and people every year...

The following photos were taken this past July during a one hour helicopter ride over the city by North Bay's mayor, Victor Fedeli. He gave me permission to post these photos after being kind enough to burn them onto a CD for me after I e-mailed him and asked if there were any recent aerial...

Timmins is largely a white city, lots of French Canadians, Italians and people from various other European backgrounds. There is a sizable and growing Native population though, I'm guessing that the third language was probably Cree?

HaHa You guys are joking right? As if midtown or even Mimico qualify as moving out of the city!

It was for the 416.

Great looking little town with a very cute Main street! I must say that places that ban bikes really tick me off, Just ticket people who ride on the sidewalks, not the entire street! Barrie has also banned bikes from it's Main Street which strikes me as a very backward thing to do for a...

Thanks for the pics! Timmins has a definite frontier/resource town look to it, much more so than here in North Bay. I have cousins who live in Timmins so I've been there many times visiting. The downtown area is actually quite sizable given the city's population, however the buildings are...

Cool stuff, I'm looking froward to the rest of your pics. Too bad you didn't go through North Bay though (my place of residence).

Yeah, I didn't know if that was supposed to be a joke or not... haha Maybe I should erect a new sign on the highway: Welcome to North Bay - the biggest and most urban hamlet on the face of the earth!

I think that many people describe Toronto as conservative when they really mean to say that it is reserved - not the same thing at all.

Great pics, I love the Strat! One of the best cities of its size in Canada. This is the former Normal school building. North Bay has a building that is identical to this and so does Peterborough. North Bay's was incorporated as part of an adjoining government office complex that was built in...

Thanks for the comments guys. North Bay's waterfront is indeed a gem, and it will be getting even better since the city is currently in the process of developing a large new park on the land formerly occupied by the CP rail yards. The rail yards were a barrier that cut off the downtown from the...

The Toronto network includes an area well beyond the limits of the city proper or even the metropolitan area. People in Cobourg are part of the Toronto network.

North Bay has a population of 55,000 and is a three hour drive due North of the GTA.

^ You're not serious I hope?

Kingston is a great smaller city and according to the last census it is in fact growing, not declining in population. It's city population grew by 2.6% between the 2001 and 2006 census and it's CMA population grew by 3.8%.
