St. Catharines itself is smaller than Windsor and only has 130,000 people, in the same ballpark as Guelph, Barrie, and Kingston. The metro area is bigger than Windsor's but it's made up of a handful of small disconnected cities like Niagara Falls and Welland. It doesn't feel or function like a major city.

In this version the evil Clocktower has become a factory that converts old people into Scores' chicken (hence the clock being replaced with their sign). The wacky waving inflatable flailing arm tube men are to welcome customers to the Tempo port cochere.

I (and perhaps you) must belong to a peculiar subset of the population that lols at these photos.

it wouldn't surprise me. old wrinkly chicken. From Michael's/Sears to the Clocktower for processing, thence onto the rotisserie spit.

Prince Albert doesn't seem so bad? I mean, it's gritty but at least it can claim it has some. I'd take its nicer mature parts over like half the neighbourhoods in E-town.

At least PA doesn't adhere to L'Esprit de Laval like Red Deer does.

You forgot the best part of that building. Check out the entrance into its parking lot.

You've gussied it up to make it irresistible to the Senior crowd at Scores Rotisserie. It's all there. Just add some pot-pourri from Michael's, and place the building next to a Sears, and its done. A warehouse of old ladies.

Woot Woot, I can see all the excitement about Red Deer. Looks very Brantfordian.

Just down the road is this bunker from McShitties:

Smitty's has to be one of the worst Canadian restaurants. It makes me think of old people and death. Their head office in Calgary is equally depressing.
