Very nice. Sure, the shopping cart gets all the press, but my favourite part was the crows.
What, you got something against robins?!?
Are there no cats in Calgary?
My favourite was the crabapple trees.
The robin was pretty good, but it seemed a bit aloof.
Wow. Panama City looks like Hong Kong. I had no idea.
I see more off-leash dogs in my neighbourhood than cats, funnily enough. Not off-leash cats, I mean, although I guess free-range cats are technically off-leash…what was I talking about again?
Yeah, robins can be that way. They’re very intense and focused on listening for worms, you know. Especially when they’re on concrete. Not the smartest birds, I’d have to say.
We have them here in northern NJ as well. We also have shopping carts that have a little car underneath where small children can sit and pretend to drive, allowing a toddler to actually enjoy shopping with mommy.
The second dog is not only off-leash, but he seems to be stalking that elderly gentleman.
It’s not nearly as big or as dense, but there’s been a major boom in building skyscrapers in the last 5 years or so. Nine of the 10 tallest buildings in Latin Americaare currently in Panama City.
We should note that the robin, crows, and even the crabapple trees were also off leash.
It’s the only mildly interesting thing to see in the Atlanta area. They shoot lasers at it every night, but it’s still there…
I can ride there in 10 minutes.
They used to have paddle wheelers roaming the lake, but this was it’s actual last ride before storing it forever.
Even though it’s wilderness, you still can’t get away with anything! Observant Atlantans will notice the King & Queen just right of the truck…
You can ride or walk to the top of the mountain, butthe best viewis from the 450 foot tower on top of the mountain. I’m one of the lucky ones who gets to work on the amateur radio antennas on occasion.
It’s cool I guess, but it’s no double-decker shopping cart.
Here’sa clip I found featuring Tel Aviv. Most of it seems to have been filmed in or near my neighborhood - the plaza featured in most of the second half of the clip is two blocks from my house.
No shopping carts, though.
It was a long winter here in Alberta.
Nice video, Cat. And thanks for reminding me, by showing those nice yards–I’ve got to cut the grass. Once the snow clears, of course. 
Ditto for many supermarkets in the Boston area, but I like these Calgary ones better. The bottom basket sticks out further which seems more convenient.
There’s a dog who deserves to be off-leash!
I visited there in 1969, stayed at the El Panama downtown (is that still there? Do they still have El Bombarde?) I remember being amazed at how you could go from building to building and never be quite sure whether you were inside or out (my first time in the tropics, but I don’t think I’ve seen it so successfully done ever since.) No doubt it’s all different now, but I bet it’s still lovely and lively. The other thing I remember (other than the heat, and sunburns on the tops of my feet) is the incredibly loud synchronized sounds coming from all the trees – frogs, I now believe. That, and the rows of people living by the side of the highways in shacks, one leaning on the next, in mile-long rows. The taxi driver explained that it had to do with landowners making squatters leave temporarily to avoid losing title, and happened periodically, but wasn’t the normal way people lived. The other odd bit was unexpectedly bumping into a best family friend, who lived just down the street from us in Saginaw MI. Small world!
Out east, in places like Newfoundland and Cape Breton Island, it is played on fiddles, though.
I live in Logan Square in Chicago.
The El Panamais still there, and I imagine looks much the same, at least on the outside. I live about four blocks from there. According to this, the El Bombarde organ closed in 1975 and was apparently moved to the Hotel El Continental Wurlitz Lounge in 1979, where I have seen it (scroll down the page).
A lot of places are connected by covered walkways or have overhangs so you can walk between them without getting wet during the rainy season.
It’s changed enormously since I first came here in 1977. I’ve recently seen it compared to a “mini-Dubai on the Pacific.” Highrises, new highways, modern buses - they’ve even just opened a subway.
Probably the Red-eyed Coqui, which was introduced to Panama from Puerto Rico about that time. They are still common (and noisy) in my neighborhood.
There are still squatter communities,but they are much less visible these days. The government has been building new housing for some.
Great videos - I love seeing where other people live. Israel looks very tropical, which shouldn’t surprise me as much as it did.
