Wow I love seeing the little slices of historic western Canada. I never pictured Regina to have much or even anything West of Winnipeg. Great shots Chad!

Thanks guys!

I have another 3 photo sets of Regina yet to post! Stay tuned!

I'm also gonna post a thread in the global photos section.

EDIT: Also, TheGenuineArticle, you should google image some cities in the west. We might surprise you if you think Winnipeg is the only city in the west with generous amounts of historic structures. I'd highly recommend checking out Victoria, Saskatoon, and Regina, but all Western Cities have more than you may think.

Very impressed by the selection of photos from Moose Jaw and Regina.

Regina looks like a great city. So inviting.

I've been to Victoria & lived in New West/Vancouver. I assumed everything else outside of those cities in the west would be significantly newer since BC was developed much before anything else in the west. Sask does seem quiet interesting though my friend has shown me pictures.

Well to keep thing in perspective, New Westminster (the oldest large city in all of British Columbia) was founded only 17 years before Calgary(1875), 25 years before Regina(1882), and over three decades after Winnipeg(1822), so BC's cities really are not that much older than the rest of the west.

That's cool though, I used to live in New West as well

I miss it a lot sometimes. I bet you prolly miss the coast too, eh?

Although everything you said is pretty much accurate, I believe Victoria is the oldest large city in BC dating back to the 1840s, well before the mainland and island were amalgamated

Chadillaccc · #**3013** Posted **Oct 22, 2014, 6:30 AM**

Oh shit you're right! I thought that at first, but in my 3 seconds of research on Victoria's founding I just saw "1862" but that was its incorporation date, not founding. You're right, it looks like Victoria was founded in 1843. Sorry about that, all my other data is correct though

A few shots of the City of Legends tonight, set to the latest single from my favourite artist alive. So grateful to be living at the same time as both.

The Rooms and the Roman Catholic Basilica of St. John the Baptist, towering above the Old East End.

Fortis Place and 351, with the Old West End climbing the hills behind.

St. Patrick's Hall (also known as the Benevolent Irish Society, the first charity in North America; now condos).

The Old East End framed by the east wing of the "new" Newfoundland Hotel. The school on the left is Bishop Field. St. John's still has most of her old downtown schools in operation. One of her hospitals is still open as well. Helps keep the residential neighbourhoods near downtown really lively - not all old folks and hipsters.

The hills behind Memorial belong to Pippy Park, one of the world's largest urban parks. The campground actually has views of the Confederation Building and downtown beyond. And you don't even want to know how much sex is going on along the trails in those woods right now.

I've seen it all... even a guy who gave me the thumbs up while missus hid her face, and a chick in a red wig masturbating alone. When I was growing up, Signal Hill was the place - and nearby Cuckold's Cove if you were gay. Now, that's too busy - so the works of'em are in the park.

Confederation Building and Elizabeth Towers, near the Little Canada neighbourhood in the East End. Prince Philip Drive, commonly known as "the Parkway", is the main inner-city commuter highway in front of Confederation Building.

Elizabeth Avenue, where the two tallest buildings in the city will soon be built.

Old St. John's from 351.

St. Patrick's Hall from the other side; some of the bars and clubs of George Street in the foreground.

The Anglican Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, its congregation established in 1699.

Fortis Place and the new JAG Hotel.

Water Street West, just 2-3 blocks shy of where it is cut by an arterial highway and becomes entirely dead/residential.

Cabot Place Complex, Mile One Stadium, and the St. John's Convention Centre in the Downtown West End.
