I'm quite liking The Last of Us on HBO. I knew it was filmed in Alberta but I didn't know they chopped up Calgary to look like Boston, I thought it was all CGI wizardry.

You managed to find what is probably the only zombie movie I ever liked.

It's ok, J.OT13 We know there isn't a really good one.

This was before the new City Hall was built, I gather?

Correct. Looks like the mid-80s given that WEM is there, but the old city hall is still there.

There quite a few and even the 'most in two blocks' on 96st, also called Church Street.

Neat pic. Toronto is upping its game on block busting redevelopment.

Soon at least 10,000 persons living in the middle of an industrial area. There's a Go Station though. Only $10 from nowhere to somewhere.

Here is a unique viewpoint from the affluent Highpoint area towards the North end of town.

Until I saw the CN tower I couldn't tell which city this was. It's like a weird blend of Edmonton and Vancouver.

Better 10,000 photos of the same 3 cities than 10,000 reposts of the same 3 gifs.

We need more Ototokoks then. Maybe Dartmouth too, with their classy shops and grand boulevards
