Looks like I may soon be living in heart of Prime Ministers’ Row. Could be an interesting this multimedia interactive museum.

I read about this yesterday. Knew it was timely didn’t realize it was going to be THIS timely. Oh well! This seems like a good service, a good app.

For those of you who don’t enjoy winter too much remember that spring is the next season.

New vision unveiled for upper Rideau Street

Controversial! Interesting! Perplexing. Pick one. This will obviously have the city, the heritage conservationists, and the developers at odds. I have to say something should be done! Much new development on Rideau street but when a client recently considered a move there her family was not amused. So yes, continue the development but as the article says “clear up some ambiguities“.

24 Sussex Drive

October 30, 2015 by Claude Jobin

As a heritage activist I do believe 24 Sussex Drive should be restored. When you look at other residences of world leaders or heads of state around the world ours is quite modest in comparison. 2 ideas that have come forth this week I like. 1 not at all. Diane Beckett of the Sierra Club Foundation proposes making “the greenest most energy-smart official residence”. I quite like What an example we could be. What a statement we could make in Paris very shortly! Thom Fitzgerald’s post (see below) proposing a reality TV show: imagine the ratings. The idea I don’t like is Maureen McTeer‘s of tearing it down. What’s your perspective?

Coach houses are coming to Ottawa. How will they look? Where will they be? How large? Oh so many questions that Ottawa City Hall will have to deal with! Perhaps you’ve got a large lot or would like extra income.

Children with food allergies still want to dress up and have fun on Halloween. A teal coloured pumpkin on your front porch will tell them you’ve got alternatives to Halloween candy. Nice! Read more about it in this article from the Citizen.

Was a lovely event yesterday. The grand opening of the Nuns’ Walk behind the QWest condos on Richmond Road. Nuns’ Walk is a public park which contains the former convent of the Sisters of the Visitation. In attendance were among others the Mayor Jim Watson, David Choo president of Ashcroft Homes, Roderick Lahey of RLA Architecture, Jeff Leiper Ottawa city councillor for Kitchissippi Ward, Paul Rothwell, Director of Planning and Development with Ashcroft and David Jeanes President of Heritage Ottawa. The convent main house would be extreme. I’d love to have a tour of the convent house. From people who have seen it, it is quite remarkable. Built in 1880 many of its original features remain. In 1919 an extension was built to accommodate what was to become a convent for 45 nuns who with the aid of their garden were mostly self sufficient.
