Into One More Weekend

[dewline]

It feels like a good ending to this week, as uncertain as things have been from day to day.

1. I got a start on several of the first few articles to come in the Street Names series for Spacing Ottawa. Hopefully, the first actual article with real content will go live within the week, barring miracle or disaster. A research trip out to Kanata saw me actually get pictures of the latter-day pre-Amalgamation street signs of that former city-suburb. Red lettering on white, like the Maple Leaf itself or Kanata's own flag, with which they shared a logo.

(By the by, can anyone help me track down an image of that old flag? Google seems to be having a fit over this one for reasons as yet unclear.)

2. Today, I tried to check my account at Comicspace. And got an odd response: Google was flagging the site as a security threat - "attack page" was the phrase used - to my computer. Anyone else with a Comicspace account getting similar alerts? Any clues as to why?

3. The discussions over my Bank Street Tunnel thoughts have expanded. Some interesting alternatives to go with the ones in play where the discussion started. Looking forward to see how this keeps moving along!

4. Can't think of a fourth item yet. How about you?

Here's a project for someone in Toronto to take up before it's too late, then: preserve the visuals of what the street signs looked like before the revision of the post-Amalgamation standards for such things.

And if City Hall's willing to be talked into it?

Buy the suckers off of City Hall as they come down. How you keep them preserved for future generations after buying them, I wish I could figure out right now.
