Caltrane, I guess your definition of a canyon is any street that has buildings on it?

caltrane74 · #2 Posted **Mar 13, 2010, 8:18 PM**

ok guy, its on.

I'll do a hardcore canyon update tomorrow.

I'm gonna bring pain.

Big canyons, little canyons; old canyons, new canyons; boring canyons, beautiful canyons; canyons downtown, canyons in the suburbs...plenty of canyons in Toronto to go around.

King St.

Bay St.

York St.

Yonge St.

Richmond St.

Carlton St.

Victoria St.

Wellington St.

Bloor St.

Piper St.

University Ave.

etc.

Awesome! That's what we were expecting from TO!
I might add 1 or 2 pics for you guys (from 2008)

And MTL's older canyons are also well represented thanks to Darkoshvilli

(special mention to CGY's flickr shots in the first pages)

Does Hamilton have minor canyons to show? Victoria? Halifax? Mississauga? Québec? Burnaby? KW??

Hamilton has ripped down too many buildings to have good canyons

Probably the best along Hughson. Stand in the middle and look South and you'll see a canyon of buildings with the GO Station at the end.

Somehow I think you are going to bring more embarrassment upon yourself than pain unto us. Actually, having to wade through tens of your pictures of one-sided or incomplete street walls that don't qualify as urban canyons won't be fun...

those toronto pics look like canyons to me

Darkoshvilli · #12 Posted **Mar 14, 2010, 6:14 AM**

The best "canyons" in Montreal are probably in old Montreal

St Jacques

Notre-Dame

McGill

St Paul

Traynor · #13 Posted **Mar 14, 2010, 7:46 AM**

New York

Toronto

caltrane74 · #14 Posted **Mar 14, 2010, 1:27 PM**

I already proved them wrong, but no one seemed to notice :/ (or at least consciously ignored it)

caltrane74 · #18 Posted **Mar 14, 2010, 5:51 PM**

Thats because I took those pictures before I knew there would be a thread.....

Because of the weather, I will have to stick close to the indoors, but should be able to get some wicked shots of York, Bay and King today. If Im lucky ill sneak down to Queens Quay for the canyon no one here has even posted, and is perhaps the most high and consistant canyon in Toronto at a solid 40 storeys all the way across. This canyon will rain distruction on all wouldbe CANYONS............

I'm glad to see you're not taking this too seriously Cal. Your last few posts sound like you've been stealing lines from WWE wrestlers!!! LOL

Next I suppose you're going to: Bring a world of hurt and go medieval on our asses!
