Why I love being a geek in Vancouver

That's SO awesome! The Daily Planet!! :D

I literally went "EEEEE!" in the car. *LMAO* oh dorkiness.

I actually have a lot of fun guessing the filming locations for SV, SPN, X-Men movies, etc. Extra chocolate if I can actually pinpoint it within a 3 block radius. Double shots if I can name the intersection. Sometimes I even play with other people. ;)

LOL, that's awesome.

Dude! I am so dying of envy here. Not only does Denver utterly lack the Daily Planet, we just lost one of our newspapers with no notice what so ever. It's official. Colorado is where the liberal media goes to die.

Yes they are lovely... when they arn't on fire. Still not as cool as the Daily Planet. It's hard out here for a geek.

OMFG THAT IS SOOOO COOL

if that is a Seymour street sign,then this is Vancouver BC... Also known as Hollywood North

[xenokattz]

Right you are! Driving through downtown is a special type of hell for me though. ;)

[xenokattz]

Yup, it's Vancouver, BC where half of everything is filmed. Or at least it used to be; I'm not quite sure on the current state of the film industry. I do know this is the homebase for Supernatural and Smallville. They also taped most of the Marvel movies here. I didn't have time to stalk the Wolverine set, dammit.
