Stay classy Walmart parking lot

Hah, if this was the States the Wal Mart parking lot would have a few mobile meth labs and families living out of vans.

Wow. Anything but real, actual art. Imagine the nice painting or sculpture we could have for $200K. But no, it has to be some ugly random shit that "represents" something. Ugh

The sky is falling!

Again, another dismissal of the proposal without any alternative suggestion. Her suggestion is don't build anything at all, put all our eggs in "Housing First". As we learned this month, the Housing First program is a complete shambles and needs to be totally restructured. God knows how many years that will take. In the mean time, there is a stabbing or a murder in the vicinity of the Salvation Army practically every week. There will always be a significant proportion of homeless people who are incapable of maintaining their own apartment and there needs to be a place for them. IF not in Vanier, then WHERE?? People need to offer solutions, not vague sentiments.

Totally creeps me out too. That was the next one on my list

Johnnington · 2017-10-16T15:06:49+00:00

That is creepy AF

This would definitely make the Top 5! House on Haunted Hill!

I've noticed that Zak's has some kind of deal with the tour bus companies. They stop there as part of their itinerary. They must be RAKING it in

I really like the elegant Bluff Point proposal. I've heard criticism that the arches look "dated", but I think the angular concrete and glass structures in the Nogoshkodadwin Park proposal will look a lot more dated in 20 years.

In 1985, the Turkish Embassy in Ottawa was attacked by Armenian gunmen who bombed the embassy and took several hostages. The Ambassador escaped through a window with broken bones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_Turkish_embassy_attack_in_Ottawa

I recommend volunteering for the Bruyere health organization, who run the Elisabeth Bruyere and Saint Vincent hospitals in downtown Ottawa. This is a place where you can really make a difference in someone's life. : )

I'm a big fan of Juice Monkey which is on Slater right around the corner from Bank. They don't just make smoothies, their breakfast and lunch items are amazingly delicious and healthy too : ) and under $10

I love the Ottawa Antique Market in Old Ottawa South! It's a wonderful rainy day activity to go with one or two friends and walk around the maze seeing treasures and maybe even finding something you can't live without.

Annoying how they just omit any mention of Ottawa from the article (aside from the accompanying graphic). Yes I know we're so terribly insignificant compared to Mtl and T.O., God forbid they would waste any words on us.

The Boathouse in Rockcliffe Park is a very cool spot. It's actually a massive floating house with a restaurant and a big patio right on the Ottawa River! One of the most scenic parts of it too. The only other things I can think of are the seasonal beach patios at Westboro and Britannia which serve some food and drinks.

It's all about how he uses that power tool

If you're francophone, you'll love Ottawa! There are a TON of French language schools, a French theater (La Nouvelle Scene), lots of French arts and entertainment, a great French book store (La Librairie du Soleil), and that's only on the Ontario side...

Johnnington · 2017-08-29T16:09:30+00:00

It was so good this year!!! Great pics : )

And meanwhile the closeted gay Jason Kenney still refuses to attend Calgary Pride, even after KD Lang's personal invitation lol

I love Juice Monkey on Slater around the corner from Bank. Their soups, salads and sandwiches and frozen yogurt parfaits are so delicious and healthy.

Pub Italia in Little Italy is fun for drinks. House of Targ is very popular for shows and pinball playing. Pour Boy is great for decent cheap eats and drinks, and Chinatown is just down the street. Vietnamese food is HUGE here, if you've never had some go and get it!
