I call premature e-jacked-the-challenge

Maybe "strip mall"?, no one specified what sort of mall Wink

That one looks awesome, you can pick up some booze, get a massage, something to eat, and clean up afterwards, very efficient!


Strip mall

Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Well struck!

No doubt, we will need a pole to settle this matter

I was just busting my Northern pal there a bit.

Next challenge please, Canada.

Ya a strip mall is what we call them or mini mall. Oh and that 24 hour sign - was a gas station with convenience store so - booze, food, clean you suit while you get a massage, munchies for the road and gas!

Judging by the flurry of responses to my last post and the long pause in filling the mall challenge, you guys are actually awake but not quite out of bed yet so - lets get you guys out driving some more, how about -

The sun has risen and set several times now but it got awfully quiet here...

No one out and about? I thought this would be an easy one. The extreme north is the only place that's not seeing the sun right now. We see it from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM right now.

Not an excuse, that's a legit reason! I'm not running anything right now that I don't want to sacrifice to the salt Gods. Jettas are still a dime a dozen.

As we wait, a sunrise pic, not a contender for the challenge, linked from the gallery.

The Griswold's house, near us.

The owners are asking for people who take pictures to donate to our local foodbank, if you like this picture why not make a donation to your local foodbank.

(They were rigging up a flying squirrel and adding more lights when I stopped there today):

That is the best XMas display I have seen in years.
The motorhome and station wagon really bring out the beauty of the seen.

I wonder how it looks at night?

Great job Hopkin.

It was on the news the other night, if you look close in my pictures there is a broken chair and a sled (similar to the one Chevy Chase used) near the corner of the driveway.

I asked the owner about the lights and for ones the shown in the news clip below, he had to run them on 6 circuits. He said was adding a few more, but not as many as in the movie. He bought the old motorhome had had it towed from near Montreal to Ottawa just for this display.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/stittsville-...-1.5825017

Also in Ontario, just as in Alberta, that would be called a strip mall, (news conference free).

I get the ladder on the house for Santa to access the chimney but the one on the motorhome? Do they have chimneys? Wink

The tree pulled up by the roots is a special touch!!
