We've all heard of the expression "penny pincher"; well, in my time I've been known to be a bit of a nickel pincher. Anyone care to guess where this was taken? Clues: (1) most of you know where I live. (2) a word in the first sentence.

FGT, you're right, but wolf63 narrowed it down: "The Big Nickel" in Sudbury, Ontario. Some of the landscape up there is eerily desolate, and some conspiracy theorists have said that the first moon landing was filmed up there:)
