Timmins, Ontario


I am on board SAS flight 946 from Chicago to Stockholm. To be precise, I am 37,000 feet above Timmins, Ontario. It does not seem like much from above. Maybe I will remember this city as the first city I blog about from an airplane. And it may be the last one too. The onboard internet service provided by Connexion By Boeing will be discontinued from January 1st, much to my chagrin.

So what's going on in Timmins? From surfing the web, I learned that Shania Twain lived here for a while. There's a center celebrating her time in Timmins with memorabilia and souvenirs. Too bad, I could not stop by.
