LMFAO! Thank you for that. I needed a good laugh!

Metro-One · #**2824** Posted **Sep 25, 2014, 1:39 PM**

Haha,

I thought for sure you thought of that when taking the photo!

esquire · #**2825** Posted **Sep 25, 2014, 2:14 PM**

Great photos, Chadillaccc. Gives me a real hankering to walk the streets of Calgary!

A few little scenes from this morning's sunrise hike.

• Video Link

Down we go.

Time to... put on the gloves?

The morning after on George Street.

Duckworth Street at McBride's Hill.

Free Scotland?

Our very first "modern" office tower, and the beginning of our rabid anti-development backlash.

Neighbourhood grocery. Aisling (from Dublin) tells me, now that Fat Nanny's on Duckworth has closed, this is the last place she can find that stocks proper Irish tea. Apparently, our brands are awful.

Southern lovin'.

Dead randoms.

Dead Prime Ministers.

The leaves are starting to change colours on some trees, but the flowers are still in bloom.

A Pogues past, and a postcard future. When my mother was growing up, you couldn't give away a house on Gower Street. Now it's probably the city's signature postcard vista.

Cochrane Street - named for our first and least popular Colonial Governor ever. In some ways, his unpopularity was a major contributing factor to our independence in 1855.

Who needs a superette (dep) when your house could be attached to your church.

A changing vista and changing fortunes on once-dead stretch of Water Street.

Newfoundland often refers to itself as the oldest colony, as rightfully so, but outside of the Avalon peninsula most of our towns and cities were built much later. Stephenville was only incorporated in 1952 and most of what you would see here today was built after 1970, I can't even find my way around aerial photos from the 60s to be totally honest with you, everything has changed and developed. I thought it would be fun to post a couple photos from the 50s and compare with the same spot today.

From the 50s you can note the distinct lack of any infrastructure: no pavement, sidewalk, curbs, streetlights, trees. A total frontier town.

Your first pic (Main St. in 1954) reminds me of my visit to Tombstone, AZ. (The town core was conserved like that.) Photoshop the mid-1950s cars out of it and it could pass for much more ancient...

It's true as far as the main commercial brands go. I once visited a tea plantation in Assam and watched the activity on the sorting floor (literally, the cement floor). It was explained to me that the finest teas went to Austria, Germany, and Italy; the next grade went to the UK and Ireland. After that came Canada. What was sent to the USA was described as "the sweepings from the floor". Since the women doing the sorting had with them any number of infants not wearing diapers, I have never since looked at tea in quite the same way. And I refuse to drink it when I'm in the States!

Took a trip to Shops at Don Mills today. Its essentially a mall, but outside. A lot more restaurants than a typical mall as well.

SignalHillHiker · #**2832** Posted **Sep 26, 2014, 10:59 AM**

I love the Round the Bend shot of Quebec City. It's like a classy version of many intersections here.

Last night was fun. #darkNL returned. This one was a result of a damage, but a painful reminder that Newfoundland Power expects rolling blackouts to continue during the winter months until 2017.

Quote:

A large part of the central area of St. John's was without power for several hours on Thursday night.

Newfoundland Power says an underground line was damaged and it took longer than expected to repair.

The outage included much of the Rabbittown area and west along LeMarchant Road.

Power crews patrolled lines and substations to identify the source of the outage.

Electricity was flowing again shortly after 11 p.m.

Ended up drinking by candlelight with Ayreonaut, Shannon, and Aisling.

A few panoramas from an early Sunday morning walk - with a cruise ship in port and a dead relative reincarnated as a crow, I presume.

• Video Link

Church Hill (left), Duckworth Street (right).

Looking down a staircase from Duckworth Street to Water Street below with a very small cruise ship in port.

Cathedral Street (left), Duckworth Street (right).

Taking a little lane from Duckworth Street down to Water Street.

God, I love when nature runs wild around a city but is completely buried beneath stone and pavement within it.

This is where I ran into what I can only assume was Uncle Ken.

• Video Link

Sea level at last - and what looks to be another small cruise ship in port.

Hiking back uphill, and looking up. It's the details that count.
