While the job search continues...a question. Tied to one of my projects on Flickr:

Current Music: CBC News on Radio One

There's two of them right now:

ottawa_gatineau, which is devoted to discussing stuff going on in the Ottawa-Gatineau region of Canada, including its core cities.

viarail_fandom, for talking about passenger rail service across Canada in all its forms, regardless of its name.

...is that City Hall is lifting the state of emergency triggered by the spring flooding 49 days ago.

Details here:

What about Gatineau across the river from us?

Nothing on that topic. But I have to bookmark this site:

A Flickr Group I founded. If you're interested...

The casino is across the Kitchissippi (AKA "Ottawa River") in Secteur Hull, Gatineau, QC.

The bus shelter is on Laurier Avenue West in Sandy Hill, Ottawa, ON.

The ad was set up nine years before this posting went up on Dreamwidth. Long since gone.

But the image stuck with me.

So this is new. CBC alerted me to this service...

And here's their home pages, English and Français:

If you know someone who might be able to use this, pass the word along!

I'd like to know the answer to the closing question of this entry, too:

Anyone?

So. More weirdness...which doesn't seem quite so weird now that I think it over a minute.

Consider: Marie Bilodeau was talking on Facebook earlier tonight about a major lack in our food services sector: ice cream delivered to your home, as you'd expect pizza or Chinese food.

She's absolutely right. This is a missed opportunity for someone in this city of ours.

Current Mood: excited

I just started this group up yesterday: Flickr: Ottawa-Gatineau Street Signage

Seemed like it was time, given the stuff I'm up to over at Spacing Ottawa again. More on that anon, I promise!

For those of you thinking of a trip to Ottawa-Gatineau in mid-September...

We've been doing a little sprucing up.

Current Mood: pleased

I just got home from a kick-off organizational/Q&A meeting at Arts Court in downtown Ottawa.

It was for a group that's looking to set up Ottawa-Gatineau's very own Nuit Blanche-style all-night arts/culture festival. Looks like they've thought through a great many things, have admitted to others they haven't thought through yet but are making plans for that to be done in due course. Not unlike the organizational session I sat through last week with the Can-Con organizing committee. The gathering even drew CBC's official news-gathering attention, as well as people representing independent business, arts groups, museums, City Hall, the National Arts Centre...and others whose affiliations I'm memory-blanking on right now.

Will see how things go over the next few weeks and months with the Nuit Blanche Ottawa-Gatineau crew.

More on other stuff in different postings later on...

Current Mood: busy

The next edition is set for this upcoming Wednesday at the Shanghai Restaurant on Somerset at 7 PM.
