    Can you see Toronto

    Toronto no, but pretty sure you can see Hamilton from Route 20 in Chautauqua County, Sheridan/Silver Creek area. It has some elevation and you can see a ton of concentrated city-like lights across the lake.

     

    Plus a drunk uncle told me that when I was like 9, so I've always believed it even if it's horribly incorrect, and now I'm passing that beer soaked 80's geography on to this thread.

    Hamilton?  Doubtful.  It's at the extreme western end of Lake Ontario. What you might be seeing is Nanticoke, and what is known as U.S.Steel's Lake Erie Works.  There used to be close by two prominent smoke stacks that were part of Ontario Hydro's coal burning electricity generating plant.  They were demolished within the last few years.

         Just west of Fonthill Ontario there is stretch of high ground that I believe is attributed to glaciers pushing up till during the last glacial advance.  In the area of Confederation Secondary School and Peninsula Lakes Golf Course, you can see all the way south across Lake Erie to the high ground of southern New York and Pennsylvania, as well as north across Lake Ontario to Toronto.

    We can see the Bills field house while sitting on a boat on the lake west of Athol Springs.

    Very prominent from the pier close to where the Palmwood Hotel was in Crystal Beach as well.

    Another amazing view is westbound on New York State route 39 as you descend from the hills.  On a clear day you can see the Canadian shore including Nanticoke and all the way east past Port Colborne.  There are also a few roads running east-west in southern Erie County that you get a good view of the city of Buffalo.  It's been so many years since I was out that way, I have long since forgotten their names.

    I don't consider the Bills moving on from him a mistake simply because he's a rare case of a late bloomer.

     

    But it seems like TE is the one position we've never truly been able to figure out despite so many stud players at the position being drafted in the mid rounds or later. Hopefully Knox emerges but i still think Ertz is very much in play and should be if we are truly going all in to win a ring this year.

    🚓👮🏿‍♀️🖐  Pull over.  This better not be a hidden Ertz thread.  License and registration, please.

    Not same line of sight.  NF is far west.  Rochester is far east.  But Rochester is "Beyond" NF.  NF is closer. Buildings appear bigger on the horizon.   Beyond to the horizon. 

    Quite aware as to directional relationships of the cited locations.

    Only 25 miles as the crow flies, as opposed to about 64 miles to Rochester downtown.  Hey Fergie, would Gabby Greta like a bus ticket to Wisconsin?  A match made in Heaven!

    Why is Miami so high??

    Crockett and Tubbs couldn't stop all  the 'blow' coming into Miami.

    Third behind Tampa and KC seems fair not sure at San Francisco is so high. 

    There they favour psychedelics.  Remember all those west coast hippy types you saw on 'Dragnet'?  It was worse in San Fran.
