For a city of 80,000 it has good density downtown. But there are still some vacant areas that need to be built up.

The Sault is without question my most hated city in Canada. Queen St. is cute, but my god what a mess of planning.

I have to admit that it was really bad before, Bay Street is the worst. But in the past five years I've have seen an improvement especially downtown. The Sault is slowing getting better hopefully in a few more years it will be to more peoples liking.

Just what exactly is so bad about the Soo? I've never been there before, just passing through on my way to Vancouver.

I don't really know exactly. I think his main problem was the poor nightlife downtown.

I've been to the Soo, almost 10 years ago. I enjoyed it. My friend that drove me there, as we were going over the bridge from Michigan into the Soo, Canada he said look the first 3 things you'll see when we come over the bridge are a paper mill, a casino and a —. Hehe. I didn't mind, it's just a rural northern Ontario town, the only thing I expected were a lot of trees, and ya there were a lot of trees.

Cool pics! I absolutely love the drive into Downtown Toronto on the eastbound Gardiner. Once it becomes elevated it puts you right in the middle of the skyline.

Impressive skyline compilation, Chadillaccc! Vancouver looks so majestic when engulfed in fog. We have such beautiful cities across the country.

I would say Longueuil has a pretty readily identifiable skyline as well (certainly moreso than Corner Brook ) Its buildings are pretty unique (in their ugliness) to Longueuil.

mr.John took the best shot I've seen of it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/17531238@N00/6270461067/

impressive list, chadilaccc.

Some notable ones you left out:

North Vancouver

West vancouver


http://www.znzlimo.com/images/Ambleside%20beach%20znzlimo.jpg

Longueuil

Mr.John

Also, I would of put one of Laval, but it does not have a skyline.
