AND... The money shot:

Ok, carry on with the game.

splck · 09-21-2007, 12:43 PM

Is that the Mighty Canadian Minebuster near TO?

Sticky · 09-22-2007, 07:20 PM

nope...that's not it

splck · 09-23-2007, 07:38 PM

How about Le Monstre, near Montreal?

Sticky · 09-24-2007, 05:19 AM

It is Le Monstre or The Monster at La Ronde (Ile Ste. Helene - Montreal)

splck, you're up.

splck · 09-24-2007, 11:29 AM

Fast Forward · 09-25-2007, 04:07 AM

Banf NP?

cirrus2000 · 09-27-2007, 08:26 AM

Mount Robson, along the Yellowhead Highway.

By the way: Hi, I'm Kev.

Well, I'm reasonably (read: totally) sure that's correct, so I'll just jump in with this, another fairly easy one:

splck · 09-28-2007, 05:21 PM

Welcome Kev...Mt Robson ..yup.

Oh man, that's a gimmi ...That would be good old Harrison hot springs.

Fly · 09-28-2007, 07:44 PM

splck · 10-01-2007, 02:56 PM

Nah, it ain't the church I was thinking about.

Leto · 10-04-2007, 07:02 PM

can we get a hint? the photo looks dated, judging by the poles for the wires and what appears to be mature elm trees (i think) undecimated by the dutch elm disease breakout.

splck · 10-05-2007, 07:20 PM

It's a building in a city in Canada?

fresnelly · 10-07-2007, 03:57 PM

Is it an Eaton's or Bay building?

Leto · 10-09-2007, 09:29 AM

I'll say it's a department store. And, hazard a guess that it is in the west somewhere.

Eaton's in Vancouver?

fresnelly · 10-10-2007, 04:45 PM

My city-sense tells me it's Winnipeg, but that's a guess.

Sticky · 10-11-2007, 09:21 AM

All wrong.
It is not a department store.
It is an old pick of a building that is still around and looks the same.
There are a lot more buildings around it now though.

Leto · 10-11-2007, 12:49 PM

King Edward Hotel, Toronto.

Sticky · 10-12-2007, 05:45 AM

It is a Hotel.
It is not in TO.

Sticky · 10-13-2007, 05:34 PM

OK

Fly · 10-16-2007, 05:14 PM

nope.........not there..............the dude is a prospector.......

Leto · 10-18-2007, 08:52 AM

I know this. this is the statue of Flintabbety Flonatin in Fabulous Flin Flon Manitoba.

I did some wiki work to find out more. Flin Flon actually straddles the border of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, but since the majority of the town is in Manitoba, that's the province that gets credit. I'm sure that bureaucrats work out the details of where the property taxes and provincial credits go...

Flin Flon is also the birthplace of Bobby Clarke.

Name origin from Wikipedia:

The town's name is taken from the lead character in a paperback novel, The Sunless City by J.E. Preston Muddock. A prospector named Tom Creighton found the book in the wilderness. The story is about a man named Josiah Flintabbatey Flonatin, who piloted a submarine through a bottomless lake. Upon passing through a hole lined with gold, he found a strange underground world.

When Tom Creighton discovered a rich vein of almost pure copper, he thought of the book and called it Flin Flon's mine, mercifully shortening the name. The town that sprung up around the mine adopted the name. Flin Flon shares with Tarzana, California the distinction of being named after a character in a science fiction novel.

The character of "Flinty" is of such importance to the identity of the city that the local Chamber of Commerce commissioned the minting of a $3.00 coin, which was considered legal tender within the city during the year following its issue. A statue representing Flinty was designed by cartoonist Al Capp and is one of the points of interest of the city.

Pot:

Flin Flon gained international notoriety in 2002 when the Government of Canada awarded a four-year contract to a Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-based company for the production of medicinal marijuana. Medicinal marijuana is only available in Canada with a doctor's prescription. Canadian users of medicinal marijuana must agree to provide information to Health Canada for research purposes.

Alright, since I am very certain that this is right, here is the next pic. Where is this?

splck · 10-18-2007, 08:33 PM

Leto is correct again.

I have no idea where that station is....

fresnelly · 10-19-2007, 06:26 PM

Me neither but it sure is neat.

South Western Ontario?

Leto · 10-20-2007, 01:13 PM

not south western Ontario. Fresnelly, you would be surprised to know where this station is now. (not its original location, but close).
