It is timely because the owner of Fenwick tower (the big concrete one) just announced that they are going to begin building an addition in January. A 34-storey extension will go up next to the existing tower, the walls will be reclad in glass, and the ground floor will be improved with a better lobby, some commercial space, and townhouses.

Moncton sure does love it's red brick! It's a nice little city, and it looks great in autumn. Probably my favourite time to visit.

Nice Sherbrooke shot..........I've heard Sherbrooke is a lovely city.

As for Thunder Bay I'm curious. when someone say's they are going "downtown in T-Bay which "downtown" are they ussually refering to? Is there one city that has become the effective core of the city or are they basically the same size with similar amounts of commercial/governmental/ entertainment amenities?

It refers to the core of the end of town they're from. I live in the south end, so "downtown" for me is downtown Fort William, and I refer to downtown Port Arthur as either "the North Core", "Port Arthur" or "Uptown". People in Port Arthur are referring to downtown Port Arthur when they say "Downtown", and downtown Fort William is referred to as "South Core" or "Fort William".

I've been trying to get people to refer to the south core as "Downtown", the north core as "Uptown" and Intercity as "Midtown" but it isn't really catching on yet.

Kelowna




I really wish they were building that 18 floor office tower downtown. As it stands now, Kelowna has two skylines; one is predominantly condo towers while the other is office buildings.

Landmark VI would fit in nicely in the waterfront skyline. Hopefully Lucaya, Monaco and 24 eventually get built. That will really define the waterfront as the primary skyline of the city.

Love Kelowna, and love the beach culture of the Okanagan. Can't wait for next summer! (Though Penticton is my favorite, hehe. More Liberal and less Conservatives. I have actually noticed that the Okanagan becomes steadily more conservative the farther north you go, with Osoyoos and Oliver being the most Liberal, followed by Penticton. Then Kelowna leans Conservative, but Vernon seems to be the furthest right, becoming an all out cowboy Conservative land)

NEVER, Port Arthur will always be the Downtown for me...
