I know this isn’t directly Niagara Falls related, but I know that many of you also frequent the SkyscraperPage site. The Globe and Mail has a nice article today about the site, the owner, and its visitors:
We’re bit of an odd bunch,” Dylan Leblanc tells me on the phone from Victoria. “A lot of people … say none of their friends cared. But then they find our site on the Internet, and it’s like they found their people. They fit in. They belong with us.”
He pauses for a moment.
“Some guys like cars, some guys like planes and some guys like skyscrapers.”
Indeed, they do. As it has for so many other constituencies, the Internet has provided a home for the world’s wandering tribes of skyscraper fans. And Leblanc would know, since, for the past decade, he has played host to them like few others.
His site, the venerable SkyscraperPage, is something of a monument in its own right.
