Where am I in.... Canada? - Page 42 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Charlatan · 06-20-2006, 04:03 AM

It's the church that's shaped like an igloo in Iqaluit.

aberkok · 06-20-2006, 05:10 AM

Wrong...muhahaha!

Charlatan · 06-20-2006, 05:14 AM

Damn... tricksy hobbitses.

Daval · 06-20-2006, 05:38 AM

That is the olympic stadium in montreal

aberkok · 06-20-2006, 06:03 AM

Game on Daval!

Daval · 06-20-2006, 06:04 AM

woot! Here we go....

fresnelly · 06-20-2006, 07:14 AM

Mississauga City Hall!

Daval · 06-20-2006, 07:25 AM

bah, that was too easy. Shoulda picked something harder :P

fresnelly · 06-20-2006, 10:56 AM

It helped that I've worked on some outdoor events in the square out front.

Towards the upper right of the photo, you can see the amazing Greek style ampitheatre that can never be used because it doubles as a pizza oven during the summer. The whole complex is pretty odd. If you were standing on the square, you would never even know the theatre was there.

Inside, there's this 4 or 5 story straight-line staircase, made of black stone that narrows as you climb to the top. You have to approach it humming Darth Vader's theme from star wars to fully appreciate it.

Next up:

You know, I've been in that square several times and had no clue that the ampitheatre was there. My sister had her wedding photo's there last summer (backup location due to rain) and we did photo's on that staircase, its a bigass one, I love the Darth Vader reference.

splck · 06-20-2006, 12:06 PM

Vancouver library?

Excepting the wedding photographer, you wouldn't know about the beautiful Japanese garden either

Splk has answered correctly. That's the Vancouver Library, designed by Moshe Safdie.

Game on!

splck · 06-20-2006, 01:10 PM

ok, next.

Daval · 06-21-2006, 05:56 AM

Casa Loma?

Sticky · 06-21-2006, 12:29 PM

Hately Castle, Victoria BC

splck · 06-21-2006, 02:43 PM

Game on Sticky.

Sticky · 06-21-2006, 04:57 PM

This one maye really easy or it may be hard...I figured it would be fun though.

fresnelly · 06-21-2006, 05:11 PM

Rockin! That's a closeup of the Sam The Record Man neon sign on Yonge at Gould in Toronto.

Charlatan · 06-21-2006, 05:19 PM

Good eye fresnelly!

fresnelly · 06-21-2006, 05:32 PM

In a similar vein:

james t kirk · 06-21-2006, 05:40 PM

A and A records (obviously)

fresnelly · 06-21-2006, 05:50 PM

Yep. Right next door, though not for a long time.

Game on James T!

Can anyone name the store in between Sam's and A&A om the photo below? I don't remember it.

Leto · 06-21-2006, 07:12 PM

Peter Dunn's Vinyl Museum, at the time I believe.

... remember comparative shopping for records between Sam's and A&A's?? back and forth, looking to save $1 off an album...

Daval · 06-23-2006, 04:03 AM

So who's turn is it?

Sticky · 06-23-2006, 05:01 AM

Leto · 06-23-2006, 08:46 AM

It is indeed JTK's turn.

during the meanwhile, does anybody know what the name of the mountain is in the picture attached (not for a turn, it is still JTK's ). I snapped this shot as I left Vancouver for Toronto. I t hought it was Mt Baker, but I don't think so. It is about half an hour or less into the flight.

Looks like Mt Baker to me. The next closest volcano is Glacier Peak, but that's a fair distance South of the border.

PhilMcGroin · 06-23-2006, 10:10 AM

hey guys, can anyone play? I should have a couple gooders for the group if that's cool.

cheers
Phil

Charlatan · 06-23-2006, 12:25 PM

Hey Phil... anyone can play. All you have to do is answer one of the posted pictures and then you can post a picture of your own.

We are just waiting on the winner from the last round, James T. Kirk to post the next picture.

PhilMcGroin · 06-23-2006, 12:49 PM

Hey great! Thanks for the info. I'll keep tuning in and see if I can earn the right to post one of my own. :-)

james t kirk · 06-23-2006, 02:49 PM

I have been remiss, thinking about other things...

Charlatan · 06-23-2006, 04:09 PM

BCE Place. Toronto.

james t kirk · 06-23-2006, 04:34 PM

too easy...

Leto · 06-23-2006, 07:27 PM

yup...way too easy, although, it DOES look a little bit like the underside of a bridge....

heheh, that would of been my guess.

Charlatan · 06-24-2006, 05:34 AM

It was pretty easy... but it *is* one of my favourite spaces in the city...

Next!

james t kirk · 06-24-2006, 12:36 PM

Upper Canada College Gates?

fresnelly · 06-24-2006, 01:53 PM

Those are the gates that lead out from the Guild Inn sculpture garden to the walking trail overlooking Lake Ontario and the Scarbourough Bluffs.

Is it cheating if I was there last weekend?

Charlatan · 06-24-2006, 03:01 PM

Game on Fresnelly! I thought this might be tough, but should have known better.

How do the grounds look now that the Guild is closed? Have they demolished the butt ugly tower yet?
