Do any of you do this?

City/Town Cams!

Just to see the live action as it happens in my old town. I go there every day just to see what the weather is like, and if anything is different.

Anyone else do this? And if so please share your city camera site with us.

Hi! Not trying to hijack the thread...this is all very interesting to me. The live feeds, that is. Is this something new? Does it seem intrusive to you? I like the idea. Pretty cool. I am not sure if we have cameras set up anywhere in the U.S. like this (other than the ones the local police use for traffic tickets). My husband and I have been considering moving to Canada, Toronto to be exact. So I have been checking out some of your threads.

Anyway, back to the camaras...

Its nothing new, and yeah, they're all over the US too. Its not like they're poking into people's homes, usually its just traffic cams and tourist traps. I usually check out the ones here in the mountains if I'm heading up there, just to see what the weather is.

Here is the Windsor cam:

hmm- it may not work . .

Thank you, thetreble and Kathryn41, the cam does not work but I will keep eyeing on it until it works. Sometimes I use Yahoo Maps Satellite to find if there is any change, but not live and detailed.

Go to the Cams Across Ontario site and pick Windsor at the end of the drop-down list.

I miss Windsor Ontario, but I can not go back now even it is just one hour drive from my home to Windsor.

Once I get AP, the first thing that I would like to do is go back Windsor!

I love Windsor. It's what Detroit COULD have been.

I have some web cams that I check, but they're in the US of course.

Wow. That last one has a beautiful view.

I miss Wyoming.....

[thetreble 19]

yeah that picture is amazing....open land, bright blue sky...very nice

I try not to do the ones from Ottawa very often because it does make me incredibly more homesick that I already am. (ie. I just saw the cibc bank I used to bank at in Ottawa and got a creepy feeling in my stomach )

Since I just quit my job, and probably won't be starting a new job until next week, I might have to take a trip to Ottawa by myself this week for kicks. It's been 2 years and a bit since I have been there. I think I am long overdue.

i did just find a cam for the town I was born in .. Steinbach, Manitoba...

Wooh, Marilyn - I've been to Steinbach! In 1979 I was working in Saskatchewan on a National Museums of Canada contract while a friend of mine was doing the same in Steinbach. She was billeted with a Mennonite family there and working in the Museum. I visited her - and actually submitted one of the photographs I took there to a National Film Board of Canada competition called 'Sites of History' - and it won. Cool!

Here near Atlanta there are webcams set up at regular intervals along the highways going through the City. We check them pretty regularly to get the idea of traffic flow and to help us plan routes to/from Atlanta or points going through the city. There is so much construction going on right now that these live cams are a godsend, and if there is a hold up due to an accident (a far too regular occurence) we can plan alternate routes.

yeah I lived in Steinbach for the first 15 years of my life... most of my relatives still live there...

Closest cam I'll get to my hometown is going to be North Bay ON. Cochrane only has a population of 5,000 and have no street lights at all.

I'll have to keep checking the homepage for Cochrane to see if anyone is updating it (probably not) and reading the paper online to see what is happening. I do talk to my daughter daily and my sister every few days.

I have a lot of people on MSN that I can chat with too. I just have to remember the time difference of an hour between here and there.

Didn't New Liskeard get a cam? I thought they did.
