Is that the Starliner Towers on Nun's Island near Montreal (as seen in Cronenberg's Shivers)?

That's it! More specifically, the Mies van der Rohe towers. The name "Starliner" was only used in the movie.

More info on the movie "Shivers" and the scandal it caused can be found at the following link. http://www.canuxploitation.com/review/shivers.html

Here's a couple more pictures of the place.

Congrats Charlatan!

Leto 04-23-2008 09:05 AM

dammit. that was my first guess. It just didn't look tall enough.

You know, I took a girl on our first date to see Shivers (Drive-in in Barrie Ontario) and was surprised that I didn't get a second date. I thought it was a decent flick.

Charlatan 04-23-2008 04:17 PM

You know what? I pulled that answer out of my ass.

I can't believe it was right. :lol:

OK here we go...

Looks like some factory smoke stacks.

Looking at the other pictures, looks like it could be a school of some kind, perhaps an art school?

It has been a while since we had an ass-worthy guess!

Charlatan 04-23-2008 11:59 PM

I love it when my ass is worthy of something... :lol:

Leto 04-24-2008 12:59 PM

Could this be the UofT, Scarborough Campus?

Charlatan 04-24-2008 02:39 PM

Game on Leto.

blahblah454 04-24-2008 03:32 PM

Hey I said a school of some kind! Thats the closest I have been in a long time. I really am not good at this game!

Leto 04-24-2008 07:26 PM

yep, now that's an ass-worthy guess as well. It just felt right. The guess that is forget the ass part.

Okay, I'm up. blahblah... I'll see what I can dig up.

Okay BlahBlah, give this a shot:

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._2000/tall.jpg

blahblah454 04-24-2008 08:00 PM

Defanity a power plant, looks to be a coal plant. (and holy fuck I hate iTunes, its chopping just from my typing this. really gotta install something new)

Seeing as you said its for me I am guessing this in is Alberta... let me take a closer look

Okay, could it be the Brandon plant in Manitoba?

Milnoc 04-25-2008 02:42 AM

Let's see what's up my fat ass... :D

The Inco Superstack at Sudbury?

Leto 04-25-2008 03:01 AM

game on Milnoc...

Sorry BlahBlah, I didn't mean to intimate that this was in Alberta! Hate to ask, how's the red mile these days?

Milnoc 04-25-2008 07:10 AM

That does it! I'm going on a diet! Too much "junk in the trunk!" :D

Okay, here's a funny one. What's wrong with this picture?

http://www.milnoc.com/images/SSPX0002-1.jpg

Sticky 04-25-2008 08:10 AM

Is that the Atwater Metro in Montreal?

(she has a big black penis)

Milnoc 04-25-2008 11:33 AM

Game on, Sticky!

Now honestly. When the staff installed this ad, DIDN'T THEY NOTICE?!?

If anyone is wondering what the heck is that thing, it's one of the old mechanical clocks which have stopped working some fifteen years ago. They're still attached to the bloody walls!

Anyway, here's the rest of the shot.

http://www.milnoc.com/images/SSPX0002-2.jpg

Sticky, I now know where you live! You'd HAVE to be a local to get it that quickly! :D

blahblah454 04-25-2008 12:11 PM

What a terrible placement of that ad! And don't worry guys, I am bound to get another one one of these days!

Sticky 04-28-2008 12:46 PM

I am going to go and take a peek to see if it is one of the clocks. I will report back later.

That was one of the very few that I did not have to Google.

Here is the next one:

Leto 04-28-2008 12:59 PM

is this part of a pedestrian concourse in Montreal?

Sticky 04-28-2008 01:26 PM

Not really.
It is probably connected somehow (almost everything downtown is somehow connected).

I intended to cut out the Banque Nationale part of the picture. Oops.

Milnoc 04-28-2008 01:30 PM

I know what it is. But because I've run out of pictures to submit, I'll pass. :)

silent_jay 04-28-2008 02:15 PM

Square-Victoria?

Sticky 04-28-2008 02:41 PM

Not Square Victoria

Leto 04-29-2008 02:30 AM

Montreal train (Via Rail) station. (Central Station ou Gare Centrale)

Sticky 04-29-2008 08:51 AM

Leto is correct.

Leto 04-29-2008 09:17 AM

where is this?

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...0/DSC00507.jpg

blahblah454 04-29-2008 11:14 AM

Canada!

OK, lemme just find a picture here...

Leto 04-29-2008 11:35 AM

alright blahblah I'll give you a hint. It's NOT in Alberta. And worts than that, it's east of Manitoba.

Sticky 04-29-2008 01:51 PM

It looks like a Brewry.

Charlatan 04-29-2008 02:07 PM

That's in the Distillery District in Toronto. The old Gooderham and Worts Distillery.

Leto 04-29-2008 06:31 PM

Game on Charlatan

Charlatan 04-30-2008 06:01 AM

Cool.

Here we go.

Leto 04-30-2008 11:02 AM

I like that. The view is free. Does the light at the end of a pier also serve to act as a type of lighthouse?

To me that looks like a lake. I am guessing that this is on the shore of one of the great lakes, Lake Ontario?

Charlatan 04-30-2008 02:25 PM

It's just a light as opposed to a light house and yes, that's Lake Ontario.

Leto 05-01-2008 11:22 AM

is this in the eatern half of lake ontario? i.e. east of Coburg?

Charlatan 05-01-2008 03:09 PM

Nope. That map was a ruse.

Here's another shot of the same:

Charlatan 05-02-2008 09:43 PM

Nothing? Nobody?

It's in Toronto... where specifically.

Leto 05-03-2008 02:35 AM

Toronto Islands?
