Awesome finds Chad! I'm guessing that first pic was taken somewhere around 100 St. SE of the city.

Hahaha. Gotta admit, Hamilton probably has one of Canada's best fall scenery with the Niagara escarpment behind the skyline.
I just hope that the 44 floor Carmen's hotel gets built.

To be honest, when I saw this picture I thought it was taken somewhere around Vancouver. I can't imagine North America without the Great Lakes. Southern Ontario would be plain, cold and unpopulated, like a Canadian version of Iowa.

It's true. Throw in some palm trees and this can look like a beach in Costa Rica.

Why would this be the case?

And aren't you kinda (pretty darn close to) "speaking American" right now anyway?

.
For a variety of reasons, I've personally known a number of people from abroad who lived in Toronto temporarily.

None of them knew each other, but at least a couple were fond of jokingly saying (about Lake Ontario) something like "that not a lake! that's the ocean!"
