Quite deafening, actually.

No!
While it’s always good to be mistaken for a larger city, I much prefer the aesthetic of our own.
That said, I’d raze The Rooms and rebuild Fort Townshend in its place tomorrow (which would consequently end up with a similar urban form as Halifax and its Citadel). But Halifax doesn’t factor in my wanting to do that. I just hate The Rooms, and Fort Townshend was enormous and beautiful.

Marty’s post did come up in our SSP chat. It was 50% “They’re so negative and condescending. ‘Cluster of office buildings’? They can’t even call it a skyline when they know it’s here.” and 50%, like me, “I’m unbothered. Surprised it fooled Hali, though. You couldn’t take a wide-angle shot like that of any other city and have me mistake it for St. John’s.”
