Also, I want to buy her some Popeye's -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 09:25
Is that 'Times Square' in the background? -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 09:12 14
- It's Yonge-Dundas square -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 09:15 11
  - okay yeah that's what I mean (it took me a while to remember 'Dundas') -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 09:16 9
    - You'll have to forget it - Dundas delayed the abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and there's a plan to rename it - Roger More Apr 5, 09:20 4
      - oh, is the new name Hazard St? -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 09:24 3
        
        There was a very well-known slave-owner and coloniser with the name Willoughby, so yes, they might go with their Plan C -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 09:27
        
        that would be amazing. there should be more Hazard Streets. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 09:24 1
        
        but no Hazard Counties -- nm - Richard Marx Apr 5, 09:25
    - I initially was like "wow, Halifax is more urban than I realized" then figured it was probably Toronto - ty97 Apr 5, 09:18 3
      - With very careful framing I could make one block of Halifax look like this - Reagen Apr 5, 09:21 2
        
        That must be a busy day in August when they have to do all the filming before the ice re-forms -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 09:23 1
        
        Second largest ice free harbour in the world! - Reagen Apr 5, 09:26
  - (The Toronto tourism people would be thrilled that you made the comparison) -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 09:16
- In the studio? I assume it's like Yonge Street or something - Reagen Apr 5, 09:15 1
  - Right, there's an area at like Yonge and Dundas I think that is effectively trying to be the Toronto Times Square -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 09:15
where is the Popeyes in hali? can't be downtown...out in Bedford or around one of the Cosctos? -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 09:02 8
- Out by Bedford, yes, off the highway. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 09:03 7
  - semi-related: drive thrus around here have been absolutely fucking bonkers for the last year or so. like 30 cars at Starbucks, Tims lined up forever - Beaker Apr 5, 09:05 2
    - I point and laugh at the Starbucks drive through as I walk inside, look for my name on the cup that I ordered via app, and then walk back out. -- nm - Qale Apr 5, 09:08
    - Timmies lineups are public hazards at this point. -- nm* - Reagen Apr 5, 09:05
  - There's a whole new development by Larry Uteck, if you know where that is. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 09:04 3
    - is that the newer one that came around after Bairs Lake got too crazy? (on the highway to Dartmouth Bridge?) -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 09:06 2
      - It's in between the split and Bayer's Lake. - Reagen Apr 5, 09:09 1
        
        gotcha. think that was just getting going when we left -- nm* - Beaker Apr 5, 09:10
