ypelchat 0 #1 September 12, 2004 Ok. So today i was playing a little with my new digital camera, and i took a few pictures of my neighborhood. The pictures are 2272 X 1712 pixels, so I had to resize the pictures to upload them. Who can tell the name of this city? Yves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesNahikian 0 #2 September 12, 2004 I know but I'm not saying. Hints: the Frontenac is silouetted nicely; nez pas?; apple bear claws; quick bus ride from The Fort to Laval for a swim. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Nahikian CHICAGO Yes, and don't forget that there's a King air DZ located only 10 miles away from downtown Quebec City. Just a 5 hour drive to Boston, and a seven hour drive to New York! Yves.

The Scottish one stayed up at the FIRST attempt, despite its name. The Quebec Bridge fell down twice during construction due to bad engineering....
