When I saw the post with the pics, I actually had no idea what or where Kensington was, and since there were no visible license plates in the shots, I decided to see if I could narrow it down (knowing Chad travels around and post pics of plenty of places, there was no guarantee it was Calgary in my mind).
"10th Street NW" as a street name is very very Western North America. So is the style of the traffic lights. The shops and signage are actually more stereotypically West Coastish than Plains ("Sun & Moon Psychic Boutique"...)
Then the high residential towers told me it had to be a large city, and knowing Chad is unlikely to have been south of the 49th to get those pics, it narrowed it down a lot immediately.
Scrolling down further, I recognized that red bridge, so the experiment ended there.
I've spent two weeks in Vancouver back when my sister lived there and I would agree that the first few pics (street level) could've been it.
