The CN Tower

Jan 15, 2009

The CN Tower: AKA The Space Needle-y Looking Thing

Ok, so that AKA is obviously not official. But as a West Coaster, that's all I could think of every time I saw this Toronto landmark. It was the world's tallest structure, even higher the the Empire State Building in NYC, but that title was recently taken by a building in Dubai. It was still very impressive. They take you up to the donut part in a little glass elevator for about $25 Canadian dollars. To go to the top is more, but the sites from the donut are impressive enough. This was the most expensive thing we did in Toronto but it was worth it see the sprawling metropolis in its entirety.

It is lit up with the colors of Haiti's flag to show support after the recent destructive earthquake.
