Thanks for this.

Awesome job jono...good pics and a great selection of what is going on in this city...and for the record...there is more happening right now than any other point of the last 6 years...if only we could get salter street, UG and IP goin...I would be a very happy boy!!
Ohh and around the base of Gerald hall is not real stone, it is product called Should-ice.....fairly authentic looking, way better than per-cast....but it is fake |
Yah nice pics Jonovision :tup:
You kind of beat me to the punch ... I was doing a phototour today ... |
Great pics, but a couple of notes... since Robie runs north-south, those brick flats are just to the west of Robie.
I also agree on the Sacred Heart School addition... not good. That concrete block that tries and fails to pretend that is stone should be banished from every architects bag o' tricks... horrible stuff. I didn't realize that Dal had torn down the Grad House, the place you refer to next to the SUB. Spent many a wasted night there drinking way back when. Does anyone know if they have relocated, or is it gone forever? R.I.P. |
I don't know if the new grad House is up and running,
but the plan was\is to use another old house kitty-corner to where the former grad house was located ....and I heard that there was plans to redevelop the site.....but the individual who told me this was unsure of what was proposed or what the time line was |
Great pics - missing the old hometown.
I also wanted to point out that EVERYTHING about the Homburg building at Barrington and Morris is crap, not just the roof. |
Nice Work.. Had a laugh at the BellAliant sign. If I had a dollar for everytime the changed the sign on that building.. which is funny because its really the same company, over and over and over..

Great tour Jono, thanks! Personally I *don't mind* the SH addition - a bit uninteresting but handsome enough.

I think if you go intot he Sobey's down on Queen they have a huge photo on one of the walls -- expanded essentially into a mural -- of the city back in the mid-80s and you can see the old MT&T sign on the building.
lol, might be useful to take a photo of the photo. |
The few times I've been up on the roof of the Maritime Centre, on the way up you have to go through a gauntlet of passageways and doors to get up to the outside, and in the last room you go through, ducking through pipes and ducts, on the wall beside the door they've got all of the old signs in pieces stacked up hahaha.

Nice photos. They have gotten to an interesting point with the power plant - you can get a much better idea of what the interior is like now.
I kind of wish I had taken more photos when I was in town, but my visits always go by really quickly. I also wish it didn't take 2 flights and 7 hours to get across the country. |

What street are those brick buildings on?
I'd love to have a look at them in person. |

And yes, those are the ones I was talking about. I wish we had more brick houses around the city, they seem to be more classy than the wooden houses that are common on the peninsula. |
