The City of North Bay is about 340 KM due North of Toronto and has a population of around 56,000. Unlike most Northern Ontario communities, there are no mines or pulp and paper operations in the city, it's economy is driven mainly by education (Nipissing U and Canadore College), government services, light manufacturing (with many companies that supply the mining industry), transportation, retail/restaurants and a healthy summer tourist industry.
Most of these pics were taken by me in late December and early January.
We'll start with some pics from the Main Street, which is actually called Main St.!
These two guys look like they're on their way to way to carry out a hit!
Our Performing Arts Centre - NB is a very artsy kinda town.
Now here are some pics from some of the other streets in the downtown area.
For some reason i have lots of pics of Worthington Street.
Here is a shot of Mcintyre Street.
Looking North up Algonquin Avenue.
Gritty Old Oak Street.
Ontario Northland head office at John and Oak.
Where's Ringo when you need him?
The Masonic Temple is my favourite old downtown building.
Various views of downtown from afar and above.
The red bridge is part of the city's bike path network.
This store at Worthington and Fisher is a neighbourhood institution.
So is this one at the other end of downtown on Algonquin.
This is a really cool old building on Worthington St. It's actually a transformer station.
Here are a bunch of pics of downtown taken from the waterfront area.
Some new residential here, another 6 storey building will be going up beside this.
A huge new downtown park is being developed in the vacant former rail-lands in the foreground.
A few "skyline" shots. har har
A rainbow in January! You don't see that very often around these parts.
Here are a couple of construction projects that are ongoing in the city, these two pics are more recent than the rest.
I'll wrap up the tour with some of the residential areas right on the edge of downtown. These are from the East end, the neighbourhoods in the "Old West End" are indeed older, and quite a lot nicer, but I'll have to get to those later.
I Hope you enjoyed the tour!
