Not sure if I can remember ALL Hip place references. But here are the ones I can remember and I've been to:
Algonquin Park (after enlightenment by Dame for Three Pistols)

Where the great plains begin.
Obviously.
Just kidding, pardon me if you already knew this and I am insulting your intelligence, but the earth is divided into lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of longitude, that run north to south, are called meridians. The prime meridian runs through Greenwich, England. Hence, Greenwich Mean Time. The 100th meridian, if you check it out on a map, runs down through the prairies, roughly where the great plains begin!!! Gord knows his time-keeping geography I guess.

NOIB drops Minnesota...been there, as well as Vancouver, Newfoundland, the 401, Toronto (but not Toronto #4, who knows where that is)...
next year I plan to hit at least a dozen places on my way West including Ohio, Lake Memphramagog, and maybe just maybe Churchill, MB.

Hit up the entire 401
Maple Leaf Gardens (I'm gonna count that via 50 Mission Cap... it's not entirely right, but it's where Barilko scored his last goal
)I'm sure there are other places, but I can't remember off the top of my head... so we'll go with that...
