I played with Google Maps for a while today and was able to find all of the places inside Canada and America that I've lived, in shocking detail. They even had surprisingly accurate maps of the backroads in Tweed and Miramichi! Definitely blows away the nav system we had…
 High Park and Bloor, Toronto… This is the only real apartment building I've ever lived in. It sucked, but had a great view of the park and the lake. |
 Russet Ave (Dufferin and Bloor, Toronto). I lived here with Stigmata until we cruelly chased her out. I'm surprised she's forgiven me for that, we were very uncool about it. |
 St. Clair and Ossington, living with Todd Fox and my friend Lara. This was the first place I lived where I wasn't supervised after being released from psyche ward. |
 Yonge and Yorkville, Toronto… Fanciest place I ever lived. |
 Ross St. basement apartment (College and Spadina). This palce kept flooding. I lived here with Todd and Saira. |
 The Clarke Institute, Toronto. Yeah, so I lived in a mental hospital. So did a lot of superheroes (ok, mostly supervillains). |
 Vanier College, York University. I may have put the star in the wrong place slightly. I lived here with Jen and many others. My roommate left half way through the year to join the cast of Miss Saigon so I had a double room to myself. |
 I lived with my uncle on Fairlawn, just north of Yonge and Lawrence for a while. As you can probably guess from the address if you know Toronto well, he's a lawyer. |
 Big Island. An island off an island. I grew up on a farm here and lived there for about fifteen years in all. I actually tried to buy the property back to keep it in the family but my mother blocked the sale out of spite. |
 Tweed, Ontario. I had a great time living out there (and many of you came and visited for BMEfest), much thanks to Rob for the hospitality. |
 Miramichi, NB. Rachel and I have a small property out there. I didn't zoom in all the way, but the amazing thing is that the road we lived on is actually included in the mapping system. |
 Lahave, Nova Scotia (near Lunenburg). I lived here with Dave in one of Canada's oldest schoolhouses, formerly owned by his uncle, Murray Farr, the organizer of Expo '86. |
 4th and South, Philadelphia. I really liked living here; great neighborhood. |
 Victoria BC… I may have the specific address wrong though, I was very young at the time and don't really remember it that clearly. |
 St. Clair and Bathurst, Toronto. I think this was the first place I lived where my name was actually on the lease. |
Anyway…. Google Maps is pretty cool… I could add more places I've lived but I've wasted enough time this morning browsing it. Hopefully they'll add international support in the future.
