Figured I'd cross-post these as well:

When it's that fucking cold, you can't fault people for wanting to be indoors. At least the parking is in garages rather than just surface lots...

Halifax looks nice... bigger than I thought. There doesn't seem to be a lot of suburban development. I suppose a dense downtown is nice to have in that climate as well (who wants to walk more than a few blocks in February).

Here's an excellent aerial of Victoria, Canada. Photo by bcradio at VibrantVictoria - http://www.vibrantvictoria.ca/forum/...?t=1723&page=8

Victoria's got a super dense core for a metro under 400,000 people.

Im loving these areaials too. Most of them are awesome. But Atlanta; I know it's a huge city and growing and dynamic, but I just have such hard time seeing it for what it is. It seems more like a collection of high rise suburbs than one of the nations MOST important cities. Like a collection of: Bloomington, Southfield, Shaumburg, etc.

Norfolk is underrated. Sweet pic: http://www.newmediasystems.net/deskt...-waterside.jpg

That is just bizarre! That sinkhole looks like it goes to the center of the earth. Is there any bedrock there or is it miles of top soil?
