The fact that it is not uncommon for people to move downtown and then complain about it is remarkable.

Can someone post pics of Burnaby's downtown? I've only seen skyline shots, but have not idea what it looks like on the street.

I've seen New Westminster on Streetview, and Mississauga, Burlington, Oakville, in person. Burlington looked pretty "downtownish" but I agree its small for a almost 200k city. New Westmininster looks like its the most urban based on what I've seen.

I just looked at Longueuil on streetview. It has a nice street thats downtowny. As with most suburbs though, it seems to only have the one stretch of a street that looks urban. Also too bad those highrises are a bit further from the downtown and surrounded by highway/ramps.

Montreal suburbs can be described using a single word : gross.

Nice shots man! That C Train station is gorgeous.

Thanks! The whole West Line is gorgeous. The only station I'm not a fan of is 45th Street.

Not exactly suburban but these small skylines are outside of downtown Sault.

St Thomas, the Railroad Capital of Canada is sort of a suburb or London (in it's CMA)

Proximity to London:

I didn't realize that St. Thomas even had an actual skyline. It's not a big one, but it still has one.

Yeah it is a nice city for sure. Most cities of that size, including Woodstock and Stratford, have their highrises outside of their downtowns, but St. Thomas has them right in the middle of the core. Makes it feel a bit bigger than it really is.

What makes it the railroad capital?

It's a historic title. It used to be a railroad nexus for the Southwestern Ontario's agriculture and rail trade from the midwest. Now it only has one or two active lines through/near it.
