Cool, fitz.
Yeah, that was, what, BESIDE the Global Connections coffee house, or maybe that WAS the same building? I'm not sure.
Anyone know what the plan is for that property? Crews have been tearing down those old buildings for a couple months....

Insight (the Longwood Station developers) are building a condo tower there. There is a model of it in the Insight offices. I believe it is about 14 or 15 stories high.
If you go back to the photo gallery (your link was broken), you will notice the pictures are set up as a panorama view.Originally Posted by riverrat
Oh my god check out the Snuneymuxw First Nations website if you haven't already.
For the purposes of this thread, I am particularly interested in the photo gallery page.
Check out the picture second from left at the top. I was trying to figure out exactly where that would be. I THINK it's like this:
Any corrections? The bear should be further out to sea, or at least across the street.
The Port Theatre and bear are more to the (left) North, the Beacon (Cameron Island Tower) are more to the (right) south, the museum slightly more forward and north and the conference centre would be on the far side of the bridge in that photo. For those that have lived here for a while, the far side of the bridge is where the jewellery store, boot shop, Woolworth's and the northern section of Fletcher's music used to be.
Look at the what appears to be wooden flats at the far right side of the photo would be where the casino (old sears) back door was/is.
You can barely see the edge of Cameron island (where the condos are now) in that photograph at the top right side.
The photos may have been taken from the current lawn of City Hall.
Thanks! Fixed.If you go back to the photo gallery (your link was broken)Y'know, Smokey, when I first made my guesses about those locations, I was pretty darned smug - I thought I had it right and nobody was gonna tell me otherwise.

I love your idea of the photos being taken from what is now the front lawn of city hall. Makes sense.
What I wouldn't give to go back in time and do a little hike around "town". I'd check out Nob Hill and the Millstream Estuary, the ridge that is now Machleary and Pine Streets ...
This should help visualize it for everyone . .Thanks! Fixed.

I can't fiqure out where it was taken from. I was at City Hall today and it does not line up. Perhaps the bridge is not where I think it was . . . .
That "time travel" .gif is definitely amazing - thanks Smokey.
If anyone wants to view it in different ways (like, not through the browser) remember that you can right-click on the image(s) and select "save image as" (or whatever it says in your browser's right-click menu) to save it to your computer.
Anyone know how to break an animated gif into its component stills?
Already done that . . . . with Corel Draw .. . the images are not that great but I have been working with them
