There is literally a port in Edmonton ready to receive that ship!

LMAO! Stilllll can't let it go eh? The comedy show continues.

But while we're at it, let's at least try to not derail this thread with semantics and minutiae, like you always seem to try to do when it comes to things I've said months/years in the past.



Another couple of Regina oldies (before Mosaic Tower)...

That ship may very well be heading for Wascana Lake.

Wow! Finally found one with Mosaic Tower in it! It's a gooder too!

And a nice one of Montreal I found in my searches for Regina. A view we've never seen on here, I think. I personally love how it features Edifice Sun Life.

Hey Chad, nice Regina finds, but you seriously have the wrong credit for that second Regina photo.

doubleaphotoalbum (ME) on flickr

I had to find the original photo thread I had put that in:leaveItAllBehind

Anyone know who modeshift is?

The photo you credited is totally different. It is neither taken in the afternoon or has Mosaic Tower in it.

I find it really interesting to see shots of the Bloor-Yorkville skyline where the CDB isn't visible. It's not necessarily easy to delineate where the traditional "core" skyline ends and this one begins so it's sometimes difficult to get an idea of how that skyline looks and feels in its own right. Here it is again but looking from the west:

It highlights what a big difference 3-4 great office buildings make. The skyline north of Dundas is improving, but it will be a long time till it matches what's south of it in quality and beauty. Four Seasons, One Bloor, and 5ive is a start, but we need another 50-60 buildings like these + some good office.
