Nice one. Don't think I never noticed the baseball stadium before. The location is reminiscent of Winnipeg's, by the river, next to a bridge.

Hmm, it's a nice looking bridge, but I just dont understand why a city so clearly landlocked would need to have a giant bridge like this.

You're right of course. Isn't the Saint Lawrence a man-made, landlocked lake? And what was the original name of the JC bridge?

wow. Nice shot, but also, look at the low traffic on the DVP! How rare is that?

Looks about normal. DVP isn't always at a crawl.

It's almost always bumper-to-bumper at the intersection with 401, including at midnight, but it typically improves south of York Mills.

I know this comparison has been brought up before, but Victoria's skyline reminds me a lot of Halifax. Both coastal, similar size, dense downtown with tabletop.
