Mr. Kroekers thread inspired me to think of another time killer. How about landmarks/locations mentioned in Tragically Hip songs?

I'll start with....

Is it a mean streak
A desolation sound
A copy of desire oh nothing’s that far down
A mean streak on a western swing
On TV saying the damnedest thing

I'm a geography major so I had to go with the Marianas Trench from "Sharks".



"Sharks" even gets a mention in the Wikipedia listing for the Marianas Trench:

The trench is mentioned in the song "Sharks", by the Tragically Hip.

Now that we've hammered the last spike
and we've punched the railroad through,


Sitting here at the Horton's,
so you know this is important
