It's just a giant factory

This could be downtown Oshawa. One section is 135 Bruce. The other section is where the Costco was built. Maybe not

Costco it exactly on the site of the north fab plant, which was the original McLaughlin plant.

Have you ever made an intelligent contribution to this forum? You throw around some insults and make a few ad hominem attacks, then lie low for 5 months, then repeat.

I’m trying collaging So much effing fun. And of course focussing on the “skyline”. And butts.

Lazy pandemic summer.





Yesterday’s sunrise in Victoria Street.

Wow, those are great SHH!! At first I thought you were posting images from an art gallery and your attempt to recapture the scene through photo. If those were in an art gallery, I’d have my wallet out. Also your style is a perfect compliment for the city you’re capturing - colourful, playful, quirky, intimate, a bit rough around the edges but all comes together gloriously.

There is more going up in the core (London) than at any other time. the skyline is in for some major changes in the years to come, including a new tallest (40 storeys).

I believe there are 5 cranes in downtown and another 3 just outside the core. And yes, I have never personally seen this much building in London.

Great overview. It's a compact area. It shouldn't take too long to fill in the gaps even at 1000 units per block.

It is indeed. It shows all of DTK, except for a couple of blocks beyond the right side of the pic.

The only way I can tell it's Kitchener in an aerial is because of the building with the two domes on top.

It's easier to discern Kitchener from on-the-ground photo threads because this view is always, without fail, included

The boobs were confirmation for me too. There were a few uglies I recognized as well as the university building with flower glass panels. The tall glass additions made me second guess everything.

The dolly parton tower will always be a landmark for KW.
