And if not, is this the Glenora neighbourhood (trying to see if my Edmonton geography is correct heh)

For those that don't know who I'm talking about, the family that built West Edmonton mall and Mall of America:

It's a monster from a ton of vantage points now. It stands alone compared to The One. I'm looking forward to seeing it from the Island this summer.

Just a heads up to anyone who cares, it looks like Google Maps just updated the aerial views of Toronto.

Maybe everyone knows this, but for satellite imagery you can get a lot more and newer stuff if you use the Google Earth client and look at "Historical Imagery". For the 3D imagery I think it's the same whether it's in Google Earth or Google Maps in a browser.

Depends how you define skyscrapers, but according to the SSP North America database it's not even close!

1 NYC - 6811
2 Toronto - 2775
3 Chicago - 1339

Other notable Canadian Cities

6 Vancouver - 851
9 Ottawa - 536
15 Calgary - 415
21 Edmonton - 329

Chicago used to destroy us with buildings over 500ft. It's pretty close now.

Chicago has 130 built or U/C
Toronto has 124 built or U/C which I believe is more then every other Canadian city combined.
