EvilGentleman: How I miss good old "Half-lax", as my friends and I used to call it. And especially the concerts. Billy Idol, Iron Maiden and Twisted Sister in the Metro Centre, and Nazareth at the Misty Moon Cabaret. Sigh... the good old days...

in response to Downtown Halifax

EvilGentleman: That time-exposure shot must have taken either a lot of patience, as you keep trying to get it right, or a stopwatch, so you could know when to press the shutter button. Nice job.

in response to Changing Signal

CE: According to an article in The Star "...eviction notices were sent to tenants at 48 Abell St., an old three-storey warehouse occupied by artists, designers and the like. The building, whose fate has been the focus of much anger, will be demolished to make way for an undistinguished complex ill-suited...

in response to Elephant & Castle

CE: Where did you find the 10 000 spraycans stencil? I posted a picture of the same one here from my first visit to Montreal about a year and a half ago.

in response to Mr. Popularity

CE: It's a pedestrian street. Cars can travel across it at intersections but they're mostly narrow one-way streets so not much traffic travels across the street. Cafe and restaurant terraces spill out onto the street and buskers perform amongst the tables or by the fountains. It's a great...

serlingrod: The resemblance is uncanny...does this guy cry a lot ?

serlingrod: Found my own Harper, along with some other interesting ones. who might this last guy be? Al Gore?

in response to Mr. Popularity

CE: The picture of the second factory doesn't do its size justice at all. It's a massive building that towers over you when you're near it and even when you're on the other side of the canal. Sometimes, each silo is lit up with huge LED lights at their...

in response to Two Factories

CE: Amazing!

in response to Co-branding Strategy

EvilGentleman: I would guess that the stenciller took the gum off, or maybe a passerby is anti-gum and anti-Bush? Stevie should have been pictured kissing Georgie's ass, like always.

in response to Mr. Popularity

livia: thank you

in response to City Centre - Rooftops (Part I)

CE: Lucky for him, Ol' Stevie doesn't have to feel left out. This was in a much less prominent location however–in a Plateau back alley.

benji: yep they were taken 2 days ago - cool little brakes in the cloud let enough sun through to create some dramatic light. winter is pretty inconsistent here, but i guess this is kinda typical... :)

in response to Kensington

Luis Acevedo: In my opinion what makes this neighborhood so hot is that people are moving to what they consider to be cheaper rents than in soho or midtown. The L train gets you to manhattan in 20 minutes. The majority of my new neighbors don't have kids and are really intrepid....

in response to Bushwick: the Next Hot Neighborhood?

in response to Bishop Castle: Another Self-Made Masterpiece

Luis Acevedo: Bushwick is no diferent now than any other neighborhood in NYC. The rule has always been to go about your business and everything will be fine. If you go out at 3am nothing good could happen. But this is true anywhere. the 83rd pct does a great job of patrolling...
