End of an Era

It's been a while since I've posted anything. If for no other reason than to prove I am in fact still alive I figured I'd toss something up today.

Sadly, it seems that today marks the end of an era. The CN Tower has been surpassed as the world's tallest free-standing structure.

Growing up we always had a Guinness Book of World Records in the house. I remember that us Canadians didn't really hold any impressive records - except one. Always on the first page of the buildings section was the CN Tower, clearly dominant alongside the sketches of its closest competitors. I fondly recall the sense of pride I had in seeing it when visiting Toronto - suspecting that all the other kids in the world reading the Guinness Book knew what it was and that it was ours.

Alas, it seems the tower's glory days have passed. Guess we'll have to come up with a new record to set. World's largest poutine maybe?
