T.L. Kennedy S.S. (my dad's high school), Kennedy Rd, Tomken Rd. Quite the legacy.
If you guys want to talk about Mississauga's downtown in general, take it to the Mississauga Downtown thread linked on the last page. This thread is for Absolute World only please. Sheesh!

Totally agree and I live Car City as well 10 minutes from the site. I don't think much of the core in the first place.

Amazing set drum, thanks!
Some of those shots really show how barren Mississauga is, while conversely hinting at the possibilities which soon might take place.

The curviness of AW isn't too apparent yet. You really have to look for it. Maybe it'll be more obvious when she gets taller.

You can start to see how it lines up with the tower behind her in these 2 shots

Strange... I think the curviness has been very apparent for a while now.

^It has, but these shots really help those who haven't visited in a while to see it better.
Thanks for the pics, Drum!

It would be easier to stay on topic if people would refrain from taking potshots at the city and bringing up issues that are addressed in the other thread, but that they would never bother to read because it's specifically about Mississauga.

When you see posts that are off topic, instead of contributing to it, and making the thread go way off topic, just report the post. All you gotta do is click on the exclamation mark in the triangle in the upper right corner of the post.

Fair enough.
Back to the thread...
I really wish people would quit referencing female body parts for this building. They don't exist any more and were removed from the design. It's simply a curvy tower with a 180 degree twist - that's it.
If anything AW5 is the one most true to the original design. If you take a closer look, it looks a lot like an earlier rendering of Marylin with the 1/3 loped off.
