I did say that I have a long list of places across Ottawa-Gatineau that I want to personally visit and explore on foot. Partly that's due to plain old curiosity, and partly it's due to this project I've taken on to document street names' histories via my irregular series of essays in Spacing Ottawa. (Thanks to anyone reading this who's been following that project over the years thus far, by the by!)
In the last couple of months, in between my other chores and quests for things like full-time steady employment, I've managed to knock off large chunks of a few neighhbourhoods on that list:
Manor Park
Southern Rockcliffe Park
Lindenlea
Tunney's Pasture
Westboro Beach
Riverside Park/Elmvale/Alta Vista
Lowertown East
Southern Glebe
It's not complete, and there's a long way to go. And a long way already travelled.
Hoping to learn much more along the way.
