We're mostly still here, and we've survived another municipal election. Whether we do well with its consequences...?

Any thoughts?

It's been a couple of years, yeah, but I wanted to check in with everyone still active hereabouts...?

I just heard about this via NCF and CBC Ottawa. If you're in the Ottawa area, this might be helpful to you. You can search by category and neighbourhood. If there's an equivalent resource for Gatineau, please let me know so that I can add it?

How's everyone here doing so far?

We'll try to get a list of relevant links set up later today or tomorrow, but any suggestions on what to add in are welcome.

Been watching this play out from a distance over the last year or two. A few friendly acquaintances have either lived or worked in the affected area.

This toy store has been an Ottawa-the-city institution for decades. Yes, I've bought the odd gift for relatives and friends there since moving to Ottawa. It's going to hurt to lose them for a lot of people.

I'll probably end up looking this up myself later, but does Lowertown have a French version of its name?

Our community is still here, as quiet as it's been this past year and a half.

Everyone okay?

Anyone else got the sense that our transit drivers were getting more trouble than they deserved this afternoon?

Does anyone know of such events being planned for Ottawa-Gatineau?

Since the latest round of chain-owned newspaper closures was announced by TorStar and PostMedia this past tenday or so, someone was smart enough to work up a list of neighbourhood-specific weeklies and monthlies being published across Ottawa-Gatineau:

If you don't see yours on the list, let them know which one(s) and where to find them on the web if possible.
