Damn! That Halifax panoramic is so stunning! Look at all those cruise ships too!

Crazy halifax pano. Shipyards, warships, suspension bridges, old towers, new towers. Awesome skyline.

5 cruise ships, that's crazy! Downtown must just get crushed on days like that.

On days like that there are hordes of cruise ship passengers around the seaport area (the name given to the part near the ocean terminals; Pier 21 is there). A large percentage walk the length of the boardwalk, which is a few kilometres and has a lot of tourist trap type places. Relatively few get to the main commercial parts of downtown, like Barrington Street or Spring Garden Road, and businesses in those areas cater much more to locals than they do to tourists. Part of the problem might be that there isn't very good signage nor is there any kind of special streetscaping or anything to make those areas more inviting. There are also hills.

Some go to the Citadel and probably go on excursions to places like Peggy's Cove, which is nice but also a tourist trap to which there are many equally good alternatives that tourists tend not to know about.

Laceoflight, don't you know you can't post any more Montreal photos? Not allowed here anymore.

I never noticed the curved roof on MNP. Great Vancouver rooftop set!

Lo siento, no hablo Inglés.

Hahaha. I'm such a renegade. I don't even feel sorry for the few sensible minds I might have offended.

This thread lately is too Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver focused ..don't get me wrong... I like all those cities.

WhipperSnapper · #**2197** Posted **Oct 21, 2016, 2:06 PM**

Maybe you should stick to Mtlurb if a few photos of other cities mixed in with all the Montreal photos bothers you that much.

mistercorporate · #**2198** Posted **Oct 21, 2016, 2:33 PM**

I think he's being sarcastic, trolling tosin's comment

Rico Rommheim · #**2199** Posted **Oct 21, 2016, 5:09 PM**

Nice mtl pics Martin. The skyline is starting to look ridiculously bulky. 10 years of infill building and the recent towers around the Bell centre have revitalized what was not too long ago a lackluster skyline.

However, I would advise you to keep the mtl photo posting to a minimum since it is offensive to some.
