Let's play a game: Where in the Soo?

Someone posts a picture, the first person to correctly identify the location then posts a new pic... one at a time, please. Also wait for the poster to confirm you are right before posting your pic.

I'll start us off... Where in the Soo is this?

oooohhhhhh......good idea!

Is this one taken down at Purvis Marine

No it is not, but good guess.

Is it close to the locks?

Yes... but you have to be more specific... anyone else?

We're getting close... [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]

not sure whats its called..
inside the old building where they operate the locks

You're getting chilly. You're in the area but getting chilly. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]

Is it at the base of the stairs that have been closed off?

Getting warmer... I'll give you all a hint... this is on the water.

On the barge parked at the locks..

In the museum..

searchmount?

These have to be within the city to make it fair!.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

I take it you saw something similar in Searchmont?

yes I took a lot of pictures there.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

welcome center near the dock maybe?

detox?

old house where they take wedding pics at the locks?

It's not a house and not somewhere that anyone lives/stays (or ever did)!
It was built by an old school tradesman, two stories high with double brick walls.

hmmmmmmmm??

might have to go for a walk.. I am curious

I'm curious myself, won't be able to get out until lunch time mind you.

is it in the row of houses along central park?

Getting warmer! [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

central park?? where is that??

will have to go for a drive around that way today i guess. now it's gonna bug me! lol


oh yeah - down by the casino

the church on the southeast corner of john and albert?

is it in behind a house on the corner of alexander and andrew?

You got 'er old boy!! ..I guess it's your turn to post one! [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

It's a two story double brick garage that is definitely unique.. I've never seen one like it! I remember seeing it way back to when I was a kid when out in the family car driving around in that area.

i'm gonna let Hemi take the credit for this one....even though I called him at work on my cell phone when I found this gem. After cruising down albert street, wellington street, brown street, andrew, queen west, manilla terrace....it finally caught my eye as i pulled onto alexandra

well done JB

you never know someone could live up top there

No.. I know no one did/does!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]

It was a work shop on the second floor at one time.. now it is just storage.

I recognized the brick garage as soon as I saw your picture It was built by my grandfather .. Burt Verdoni who was a stone mason as was his own father. I actually helped him with the building of the garage on Alexander although at the time I was only 8 yrs old. The upper portion was used as a workshop, in which, in his own fathers style( he too was a maaster stone mason) he created stone vases and bird bathes arches for windows amongst other things.He also did ornamental stone work using local materials which can be seen on the building next to the Nicolet on Huron St.That house was his sisters at the time.
My grandfather would be happy knowing that his two storey brick garage got your attention today, as am I, and other members of my family that looked in at your pictures.One highlite that we remembered was that we were allowed to use the garage for neighbourhood parties the best being those held on halloweens
Thank you again from myself and my family.I like your idea using the pictures and hope to add one later in the 'contest' and I think I have one that will stump a majority of the vistors to this page... Keep up the good work.. Ray Diotte

Its so nice to know the history of the building.. Thanks RAy.
I bet your grampa is smiling proudly from above right now [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

Too cool that you happened across this.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img] ..I know the present owner of the house and was told about it's history a while back..

would it be the government building at the corner of gore & bay st?

JKnxdk got it, good job

good job JKnxdk!

Ok, now trying to find something in the Sault wasn't easy considering I don't usually take pictures around here unless it's of my kids. I usually wait until we head out towards St. Joseph Island lol.

I looked through all and did find a few odd ones that I did take around here.
