Musings on downtown life

  • It’s great not to need a car… except to do groceries… or to visit IKEA or Wal-Mart… or to visit family and friends in the suburbs… or… okay, I guess I do need the car after all.
  • The most frequent musical taste of car sterero blasters seems to be hip-hop, followed by middle eastern music, electronica, and – in one amusing isolated case – polka.
  • The air pollution is much more noticeable. Everything in my apartment is covered by a layer of indistinguishable dust, and the air has a distinctive staleness to it.
  • Our city’s crumbling infrastructure has meant three cases of the water being shut off over the past week alone. Someone might want to fix that, maybe? Just sayin’.
  • With so many great takeout options, restaurants and cafes right nearby, sticking to my food budget is proving to be difficult.
  • What’s louder than trucks, ambulances, construction workers and honking horns put together? That’s right, university FROSHers!
