    Step one for downtown…have things opened past 3pm

    This is going to be a failure all around.

      That’d be nice wouldn’t it? I live in Centretown but even it makes me feel like I’m still living in my small hometown. Ottawa’s not a huge city but things should be open later, even on Sundays damn it

        What do you consider a huge city? Doesn’t Ottawa have over a million people living in it now? It’s kind of spread out over a large area I guess…

              Just wanted to hit the point harder since it’s not kind of spread out, it’s super spread out. Which is super frustrating because it’s causing a lot of issues.

                That is very true. I’ve shown some of my friends from smaller towns that image you shared me. They have a hard time believing Ottawa is that huge, it’s nice having a visual to prove it.
