I didn't mean to steal the thunder of Moscow, ID (seems like a nice place, btw), I was just stealing from a quote from a Toronto Star article,
"Faulty Towers":
Quote:
Greater Toronto is home to more slab blocks than any other area on the continent, the majority decentralized throughout the suburbs.
Typically describing itself as a mini-Manhattan, perhaps the city is better characterized as a North American Moscow.

I thought it was funny, so I tried to make photos to fit that description, and I knew I needed cold and snow for sure.
Yes, this is Mississauga, the Cooksville neighbhourhood. This is where I grew up so it was kind of revisiting my childhood. But the photos weren't meant to be about any one place in particular, more about 50s, 60s and 70s suburbia in general. I was actually planning to photograph other neighbourhoods as well like Mississauga Valleys, Jane-Finch, Rexdale, Bramalea, but then I realized there is no point since they are not that much different. Once you've seen one suburb, you've seen them all, right?
