She's a great 'little' town and often overlooked; this is most certainly one of the better threads showing her off.

This one night at the Senator...er Winston's....

Cheers!

Not bad for a little prairie town. I've been there, and I do like the tree lined streets with the prairie style wooden houses, as well as the river & bridges. Nice photos.

I've always thought a walking or bus or trolley tour of all the wall murals and graffitti art that exists in this city would be very interesting, as there is a lot!! Maybe tourism Saskatoon should look at pulling something like that together and include a few craft beer pub stops along the way! Some great pics and perspectives.

I really had no concept of this city before this thread. Wonderful! Seems to have a much more interesting downtown than Regina due to the proximity of the river.

A very different city, names different, scenery different, vibes different

Literally SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN always looks like a Thai place.

by different I mean unique.

Thumbs up

Fantastic photo thread Echoes! Thank you for posting! That pic of the English bulldog riding in the remote control Westfalia is one of the best things I’ve seen lately.

Amazing photo essay. The Toon has a great mix of old and new. It looks way more vibrant at street level than its sister city, Regina.

Nice pictures! Saskatoon has some great building stock!

What are those two new glass buildings along the river?

Thank you!

That’s River Landing. The blue glass towers are offices, and the black one is a hotel/condo.
