Winter beaches, Montreal grit and beauty, another great Victoria set by The Great Scaper and the best Saskatoon set I’ve ever seen equals a very enjoyable page thus far! Thanks for taking the time to share everyone
Mohkínstsis — 1.6 million people at the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 400 high-rises, a 300-metre SE to NW climb, over 1000 kilometres of pathways, with 20% of the urban area as parkland.
Outstanding! (Montreal and Trois Rivieres exhibits)

^ Nice, but you should start putting captions in to let us know what the dog is thinking.
Lmao I love that idea, but I'm afraid her real thought is probably "this f*ckin as*hole making me sit for another damn picture?! "

Trois-Rivières has so much potential. Like a lot of smaller cities, I feel like its urban environment has been degraded by decades of car-oriented planning, but there are some really nice corners of town.
That's all just semantics. For me, Trois-Rivieres really is a "small city". It's basically the size and scale of a Montreal borough. It feels and looks like a pocket-Montreal. Very charming. So much potential.
A couple of weeks ago I visited Shawinigan, which is a 30 minutes from Trois-Rivieres. I was only there for a day, but I fell in love with its post-industrial grit and its solid urban bones. I have since extensively researched the history of the city and it's just fascinating. It is a planned community, built to accomodate the workers of the first hydro electric plants in Canada. The Aldred building in Montreal, was built by the same guy who founded Shawinigan. As far as declining post-industrial towns are concerned this one is in remarkably good shape. And I would certainly nominate for best urban feel for a city of appox 50,000. On the same level as St John, NB.
And you seem to have a whole bunch of time on your hands... but your being offended makes my point.
I've been Isotacked!
