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.

OK here we go...

blahblah454 · 04-23-2008, 07:34 PM

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...

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:

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...

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!"

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

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.

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

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?

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?
