The Town of Vulcan 

There is so much geeky goodness in the town of Vulcan, Canada, that I'll have to do this over a couple posts. Named after the Roman god of fire by the Canadian Pacific Railway, in this century the town of Vulcan reached a point where it was not very prosperous. The town council decided something had to be done. Because the Star Trek character Spock comes from the planet Vulcan, they decided to adopt a Star Trek theme for the town.
Near the visitor center, a huge replica of the Enterprise hangs above a massive pedestal. Signs in three languages welcome visitors -- English, Romulan and Klingon.

Another welcome sign invites visitors to take photos as members of a variety of Star Trek crews.
All this Star Trek goodness, and we're not even inside the visitor center (built to look like a space station) yet!
