Post some pictures of your city! II

[Nouvellecosse]

For some reason I like the view from the back better. I suppose I've always been an ass man though.

[SignalHillHiker]

Thanks, guys.

Nouvelleecosse: Well, there's nothing ornate or fancy about any of our general commercial buildings. So for someone from Halifax, the fronts are plain and unremarkable... but the backs might have some sort of urban vibe.

Those backs remind me of this photo I found on Wikipedia of Paris, Ontario (not to be confused with Paris, Texas)

There's a very old-school urban vibe to these row buildings (as with the NL ones posted above).

Great Gastown Gaze.

I love Paris, Ontario. I forget whose post about it here was the first I saw, but I want to visit so bad.

November 5, 2014

Guy Fawkes night tonight. I was going to go, but the flu just won't fuck off.

Bonfires are illegal in St. John's, but in the suburban municipalities, most of which are populated by rural Newfoundlanders, and most of whom are in turn Anglicans, it's a big deal. The main one is in Paradise. A few thousand people attend.

But I had to make do with a quick, cough-choked hike to the superette on Queen's Road.

• Video Link

They got the whole arse tore up out of her down a few from mine.



They use these Cadillac roadblocks everywhere. And I always misread it as Chadillac.

The Belfast doves seem to love it.



I like pretending my neighbourhood looks more like this one. It is, after all, only a couple of blocks downhill.



They even have some Rabbittown-style rowhouses.



But, alas, most of it is far too posh for me budget.



An apartment in that building with the tower is only $4,500/month. I have friends paying less than that for one in Hamilton, Bermuda.

But walking down there is fun. The sidewalks in the central courtyards of the rowhouse blocks have switchbacks.







I don't understand this at all. It's not like they need the curves to make it wheelchair accessible. It's only a flat stretch between two staircases. WHY spread it out? Why not just have a single staircase going straight down?

God bless your cotton socks' SignalHillHiker..........That is a saying still isn't it?

[SignalHillHiker]

Yes, but it means we're now married. What would you like for breakfast, love?

(Don't say divorce. Me heart is fragile).

[TorontoDrew]

I thought it meant "Thank you", but if you're making me breakfast I'll have Toutons
topped with eggs Benedict.

[SignalHillHiker]

Toutons it is. No idea how to make the other thing.

(It actually means... it's basically the equivalent of saying, "You're lucky you're pretty" and winking. So, depending on context, can be a friendly jab or a horrible insult. Or I could just be some kind of c**t and it's a completely innocent expression, but that's how I use/receive it).

[kwoldtimer]

Great shot of the Allenby, TorontoDrew. Is that the cinema on Danforth that used to be known as the Roxy? It looks like the place where we used to go see the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" back in the day.

[TorontoDrew]

It is/was the Roxy.

I didn't recall that Toronto had that mini-Flatiron-Building, it's nice

Very cool set of pics

Really? Interesting, the Gooderham Building is one of the more photographed buildings in Toronto.
