North Bay has a population of 55,000 and is a three hour drive due North of the GTA.

Looks a thousand times better than the dump I grew up in, Sudbury.

Thanks! North Bay is a nice town. I haven't been there for 4 or 5 years; I should visit again and reacquaint myself with the place. I have seen in the past that the city relates well to its waterfront, and you have shown that in several shots.

Thanks for the comments guys. North Bay's waterfront is indeed a gem, and it will be getting even better since the city is currently in the process of developing a large new park on the land formerly occupied by the CP rail yards. The rail yards were a barrier that cut off the downtown from the waterfont, so it will be amazing to be able to walk directly from the heart of Main St. to the waterfront promenade.

Here are some more downtown pics that I've taken over the last week.

I've seen that guy ride his unicycle down this hill!

New transit terminal!

Euphoria and the Nutty Chocolatier always stay open late.

Greco's and Demarco's are both awesome places.

I've always enjoyed driving through this hamlet. The rolling hills and the boats and the beach all bring back fond memories.

Hamlet?

That's a bit nasty! 55,000 people deserve more recognition than that!

Yeah, I didn't know if that was supposed to be a joke or not... haha

Maybe I should erect a new sign on the highway: Welcome to North Bay - the biggest and most urban hamlet on the face of the earth!

Yes it was my attempt at a joke, that was perhaps too droll to pull off.
