I was asked where I was located so here are a couple of shots of where I live. Noticeable in these shots are Edmonton City Hall, the building with the pyramids on its roof (though they say they are actually suppose to represent teepee's on the prairie they still look like pyramids to me). The CN tower which when constructed was one of the first "skyscrapers" in Edmonton (though very small and hidden in the skyline of modern Edmonton).
And I think the smaller "flat roofed" building close to city hall in the cluster of big skyscrapers is meant to represent the main branch of The Edmonton public library. I'm hoping these pictures encourage others to share some of their local landmarks!

Hey Gary - looks like we missed your pics. You may want to edit your post (or create a new one) and attach the photos.
Cheers! :thumbsup:

You know I never even thought to check out the West end of FSX to see if the West Eddy is there I'll have to give that a whirl.
You can barely pick out the CN insignia above the elevators of the Dash8 in the second picture, just to the left of City Hall (Not much of a building by todays standards but its one of the buildings here that everybody knows.)
