What's so funny? It's a generic city sign that almost EVERY city in the world now has.. it's not unique, and it is a nice sign.

Great pics of the Peg!

Yes, the original Yonge-University line was built based on urban development, density and congestion patterns 60 years ago, but Toronto never invested in additional lines downtown despite the need, which directed growth north. If the Downtown Relief Line was built 20 years ago, Toronto would look very different today.

It was installed for the Canada summer games 2017, it's a permanent feature of The Forks in downtown Winnipeg.

Ridiculous in the best possible way.

What Vancouver needs is a giant ferris wheel with VANCOUVER on it.

I guess you could argue the Canucks got the VANCOUVER covered on their jerseys...

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Kris22 · #**6497** Posted **Feb 1, 2018, 5:33 PM**

Can someone tell me, on the building in the centre with the criss-cross white stripes, are those stripes fully illuminated LED strips or just reflective white material? Just curious. Thx

No LEDs, just a metal lattice.

THIS is awesome! I can definitely see the early Chicago influences here. Really cool that Canada has buildings like this. I can't think of any quite like it in other Canadian cities I've been to.

Is that a smokestack centre left? It looks very 2 Dimensional so it's hard to tell.
