Charlatan 04-01-2008 04:28 PM

Here is a hint.

Leto 04-01-2008 07:21 PM

Could you be more specific?

blahblah454 04-01-2008 07:24 PM

That looks like it could be a comic shop or something, perhaps a movie store or a props store. something to do with entertainment.

I think that writing on the front of the store is a hint... kto?o.... cant really read it

Leto 04-02-2008 05:35 AM

what store? All I see is stairs in a b&w spiral paint job. If Charlatan's hint is a picture, the post link isn't working.

Milnoc 04-02-2008 09:53 AM

I can't see the hint either. What format is it in?

Charlatan 04-02-2008 04:59 PM

Crap... not sure why the link isn't working.

Here are another couple of shots of the location:

Charlatan 04-03-2008 04:46 PM

It's in Toronto and it's in a "cool" area of town.

If nobody gets this, please get someone else to post an image. I am going to be out of town for the next 10 days and will have limited access to the Internet.

I guess this one *was* a bit too tough.

blahblah454 04-03-2008 05:27 PM

Ive tried playing with the pictures, I tried googling everthing I could think of, I got nothing.

Leto 04-04-2008 03:27 AM

I've got one more kick at it, before I give up. give me a couple or 3 hours.

Charlatan 04-04-2008 05:34 AM

I'm rooting for you Leto...

One more hint... this store has been in this location since the 80s and now also has a shop across the road in a much bigger space. The store across the road is a basement location, below a very cool bookstore (I bet Baraka_Guru has been in this bookstore at least once).

Queen Street West inbetween Beverly and John streets

Leto 04-04-2008 11:54 AM

Got it! This is the Black Market Vintage Clothing Store at Queen & John in Toronto

319 Queen Street West.

Must have driven past here a hundred times, funny, the place just doesn't stand out. They need to do something with their decor I guess.

http://www.blackmarkettoronto.com/contact/contact.php



I guess the book store that Charlatan was referring to was Bakka, on the north side of Queen. It's gone now, moved down further to West Queen West, and is called Bakka Phoenix.

The building beside where Bakka was used to be the exterior that was the Lawyer's office in that wonderful '80's CBC offering of Street Legal, which for some reason is now broadcast on Bravo at around 7 AM weekdays.


Since Charl is gone, I'll find a pic and post....

Leto 04-04-2008 07:18 PM

here's one:

bump!!

Sticky 04-07-2008 06:44 AM

Kits (Kitsilano) Beach Vancouver

Leto 04-07-2008 06:48 AM

Damn you're good.

(well, it's the pool beside the beach)

game on Sticky.

Sticky 04-07-2008 08:30 AM

I was originally thinking that they would only build something big like that in TO but it just did not look like TO.

Leto 04-07-2008 10:21 AM

I wish they would build one like that in TO. But there are big ones at Sunnyside (Western Beaches) & Woodbine Beach (The Beaches). Nothing at all on the scale of Kits though.

They look like F1 cars. Is that circuit Gilles Villeneuve?

Sticky 04-08-2008 04:40 AM

No, it is not circuit Gilles Villeneuve

silent_jay 04-08-2008 07:48 AM

Calabogie MotorSports Park?

Sticky 04-08-2008 08:02 AM

Nope, that is incorrect as well.

Leto 04-08-2008 12:02 PM

Mosport? although the height of thehills behind seem to indcate that it may be out west

Sticky 04-08-2008 12:53 PM

It is not mosport.

Circuit Mont-Tremblant?

If it is, someone else please post a picture. I'm out of picts for now, and I have a big video editing job to complete before Friday.

blahblah454 04-08-2008 05:46 PM

Judging by the scenery I would have to say its in BC? Possibly near Vancouver?

Sticky 04-09-2008 05:18 AM

Milnoc is correct.
it is the racetrack up at Mont Tremblant in Quebec (north of Montreal).

blahblah454, do you want to post a pic, Milnoc can't.

Leto 04-10-2008 07:08 PM

ok, i'll do it.


Part of the underside of bridges series:

james t kirk 04-13-2008 04:12 PM

Champlain Bridge in Montreal?

Leto 04-13-2008 04:37 PM

No, this is not in Montreal.

Sticky 04-14-2008 08:37 AM

James T, I am surprised at that guess from the bridge expert. :)

How about?
Pattullo Bridge, New Westminster-Surrey BC

Leto 04-14-2008 10:41 AM

Oh yes, Game on Sticky.

(One of my favourite bridges)

Sticky 04-14-2008 11:07 AM

This may be hard

blahblah454 04-14-2008 03:28 PM

Looks like a Water tower to me, as far as where it is... I might have to do some searching

james t kirk 04-14-2008 05:33 PM

Guelph

Milnoc 04-14-2008 07:58 PM

Is that the old Guaranteed milk bottle located in downtown Montreal just off René-Lévesque?

If it is, I can submit a picture now. I just found one.

silent_jay 04-14-2008 08:09 PM

I'd say you're probably right Milnoc, judging from this pic, but I may be wrong.
http://www.citynoise.org/upload/13300.jpg

Leto 04-15-2008 02:47 AM

I agree, Milnoc has it -- see the rail at the bottom? same one in both pics.

Sticky 04-15-2008 05:20 AM

Milnoc is correct.

Milnoc 04-15-2008 08:14 AM

It's too bad about the bottle too. When it was in pristine shape, it truly was a beautiful site to behold. Many people are pissed it hasn't been moved elsewhere to better preserve it.

Anyway, here's my submission.

http://www.milnoc.com/images/PC270107-1.JPG

It has nothing to do with the witness protection thread. :)

Leto 04-15-2008 12:57 PM

A bar in Montreal?
