I would like to see pictures of Fort McMurray. I tried searching on google but could only find aerial views and very few good pictures, and I am looking for pictures of the streets and buildings and stores and people.

Ok here is something. I have no idea who the pictures belong to, I just found them after searching on the net.

When those two ~100m towers are built, they're gonna completely dominate that city! :O

wow

are those residential?

my brotehr worked in fort mac last year

he said the cheapest places went for $1200+ - he was lucky enough to find a room to rent and even that was over $500 a month

and he said food was like $1 more up there than down south - like if its $5.99 at mcdonalds here (vancouver) it would be like $6.99 up there

yes they are residential . they will blow the NORTHERN SKY out of the snow ( lol )

im sure that they wont stay the tallest for long. this skyline will be amazing to watch grow.

Absolutely Bro , hey what do you know .

( the last three posts all rime ) ;)

Looks like a nice sleepy town. Doesn't seem to be any construction going on.

ummm... you are aware of ... never mind.

You have said alot of stupid things in your time here, but that sentence, my friend, is the best. :)

:weird:

k , I thought I was just beeing rude what I thought , but I guess not.

What about the downtown.
Is it worth visiting. Are they trying to make the downtown an envy or is the city just OK ing big box?

Fort McMurray the Prince George/ Prince Albert on steroids.

That’s awesome, these towers are going to massively dominate the skyline. Does anybody know where I could find more information about them ? I’ve found nothing so far.

Oh, and beside, any news about the twinning of the highway 63 ?

I've always thought they should go for something radically different for Ft. McMurray on the lines of a space station. It would certainly give this fast growing city another industry besides oil: tourism. Just house everyone in one building, then build another one for the next 100,000 people. Blade Runner meets Star Wars! I'd vacation there just to gawk at it. Please ignore the CN Tower.

I visit the area quite often as I have family there. For the most part, the city is okaying sprawl and big box development, notably up in the 'Thickwood' area (north of the downtown). Heck, they are even planning on upgrading Sakitawaw Trail (the main highway going through the city) to make it even easier to bypass the downtown.

The downtown contains some primary businesses/buildings such as city hall, a lackluster mall (peter pan mall), walmart and the hospital but apart from those places there isn't much downtown and I would hardly call it appealing. In fact, considering the money in Fort McMurray, it's a disgrace. The photos posted in this thread make it look decent but on the ground, it's a different story.
