Location

The point landed in a parking lot across from an old train station. The train station is now the Summerhill LCBO (liquor store).

Expedition

Splitdipless

The strange thing is, I went to this store the day before. So, on my way out to visit friends and family I dropped in again to take a couple pictures. Traffic was bad, being Christmas eve and all, and there was a bit of overcast clouds throwing my GPS off a fair bit.

After snapping a picture of my GPS and the clock tower on the liquor store, I drove off to spread some Christmas cheer.

I think I've earned a Déjà Vu Geohash achievement, as I have proof that I was at the store that the point appeared in front off. Check out this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N39Tb66ge2I
