He just pulled a Caltrane.... he took 2 photos of the same scene at slightly different times of the same day, from negligibly-different vantage points.

Me thinks you were just talking to yourself.

That Toronto Broadway avenue shot is spectacular. A few times a year I work out of Canada Place in Edmonton, some great views from the upper floors there. Going against the flow here, but I actually prefer Edmonton's skyline over Calgary's, and the natural setting is great as well. As far as a pedestrian experience, however, both cities leave me cold, but I think that's improving as time goes on.

By the time you are back the rebuilt Alberta hotel will be next door... I can buy the first

I like to stay at the Union Bank, nice rooms, great breakfast included, and real HD tv feed... mind you I spend most of my evenings at the Sherlock Holmes or 100 Bar.

These are so good they need to be quoted so they show up on this page. Fantastic! I almost like the angle from Broadview more than the lake view, it really makes it clear how
expansive and enormous the skyline/downtown area is, going all the way back to Bloor. It really shows why Toronto is the dominant modern city in this country.

Done except TIs. A new wicked bar/rest will be on the main with much of the interior intact or replicated.
