After 9/11, we felt the world needed more twin towers to make up for the destruction of those two. Since we already had the TD twin towers and the Talbot twin towers, we thought "well why not make a few more to match 'em?"

Covent Garden Market, surprisingly, has been very well-done. The name is a little ripoff-ish but the building itself is open and airy, and has a good variety of stores.
Another great London vista can actually be found on Richmond Street between Fanshawe Park and Sunningdale Roads. It's really neat because you can see tower blocks, church spires, office buildings and a few UWO landmarks poking out of the trees. If you have enough of an imagination, you could almost mistake it for a small English city.
