Oh god.. problem is, which place is my hometown... 
I'm borned in Montreal
I lived for 6 years in Tracy, a city about 1h from Montreal
But I've lived for 25 years in Laval... 
Pretty boring suburbs.. you don't want to visit this city ;)

I'll try again!!
It won't work, you need to upload those pictures... something you can actually do here if you go into the profile editor.
Wou ought to be careful. the last time i offered one of these dotty wenches (Young Bonzette as it happens) with uploading images, I got days of abuse for it. :)
Of course, I recognize the exact location of the geodesic dome thing :)

Breif story, that dome was a replica of the same thing you can see at Epcot Center in Disney Land.. it was the US "house" for the 1967 universal exposition.
What is the Casino was the French house...
And YES, they are both surrounded by the Grand Prix track ;) which is a normal road all year, it's the road you take each time you go there actually...

I'm sure I saw a film set there, with lots of action on that bridge - about drugs and stuff - pretty grim. The director gave a talk afterwards. Nice film. I really love Rem Koolhaus too! Casa is his finest.
This little shop is a mere 100 meters away from my grandparents' house (where I was raised):

Can't add photos to the thread but I can giive you this link to a 'virtual tour' of Aylesbury http://www.vale-web.co.uk/aylesbury/photo\_tour.asp
I'm sure you won't be surprised that they have missed off the horrible Bucks CC Tower Block as featured on Channel 4's Demolition programme the other night...
Anybody actually LIVE in fookin Aylesbury? Hardly a bugger in site in the main shopping streets.
So far Bere and M.R+R have me totally sold.
Jem's pretence at computer illiteracy to avoid posting pictures of Bolton is only understandable really.
Spotnick BTW....my mates parked a huge American "car" in the gravel down at the Casino....I think they found out it takes a US road car further to stop from 20mph than a GP car takes from 220mph :)
Still I suppose it's not as bad as driving right into a big sign saying "Welcome to Quebec" at the end of the first lap of a race.
It was a lovely idea for awhile, build a high school in a rainy area where one has to walk out doors a lot. 
great in the spring, terrible in the winter, oh well, I suppose it was better than the rat-trap known as West Albany.
Oohhhh I don't know - or can't do - how to put the pics on!!!! doh! 
This is supposed to be the dogs; but I cant do it!!!!!
Mail them to me.[1] uninstall AOL!
[1]errr not so i can see em...I'll webserve em for you and give you image links.
Since Philadelphia is a rather large city and because I live in a neighborhood called lower Roxborough in the northwest portion of the city, I figured I'd just post a picture of the train station in my neighborhood and some houses behind it.

isn't that what the sand people drove in star wars?
actually the building I work in looks like something out of Star Wars. A prime example of 1980s concrete brutalism. for some reason we got bruatlism 10 years later than the rest of the world. Its about 1 km long and 7 stories high. Neeless to say it is a very depressing building to enter, and you can see it from miles away. Yuck.

No, that's Casa da Música (Music House), designed by Rem Koolhas, a dutch architect. A post-modern Madison Square Garden, if you will...

i was thinking more along the lines of a flying saucer with a razor standing alongside.
now this is a toilet seat. behold new york city's guggenheim museum!
