Shawn Micallef of the excellent Spacing Magazine visited Ottawa a few weeks ago- you can read his thoughts here.
It’s always nice to get an outside perspective on where you live (especially when he literally walks through your neighbourhood)- particularly when it reinforces what you already see. I like Ottawa a lot, and Centretown certainly feels like home, but there are really two Ottawa’s: the one you see on T.V. for national events like Remembrance day, and then everything south of Queen St., which too often trades on the reputation of the former. I tend to think that the former is bland and sterile, and see so much wasted potential in the latter.
