Changes on the 'Chi

Well guys, this is gonna be a short post, we're getting ready to head over to a party at Jody and Mel's. I just wanted to show ya's some changes happenin' here..for those of you who no longer reside along our beautiful river! :)

So, I'll start with the "Historic Water Street Business District", as they all refer to it now, it's being torn apart BIG TIME! This is the view of Water Street, ain't that pretty?
Here's a view of Ben's..along with the huge crater that was once a road. Imagine the fun I have walking to work everyday!
Another view, notice the Ambassador building is now tore down? Lots of great memories from that place...but it was a major eyesore!
For those of you who didn't know, we have a transit bus now! It's only costs a toonie to go around the whole river (complete with bus stops). Told ya so Matt...:)
After taking these pics, I decided I should take a few of the Douglastown "Power Center"...lol...that's honestly what it's called! This is the new Boston Pizza, which is on one side of the road (there's also another strip mall beside it but the photo didn't turn out).
This is a pic of the other side of the street, across from Boston Pizza. It's a strip mall with Staples, and lots of other stores. They are continuing to build a lot more, I'm still not sure what is coming..but there's lots of rumours about a Home Depot.
On the way home that night I snapped a few shots while crossing the bridge. They all turned out blurry of course, but I really liked this one anyway!

So that's it for now...company is arriving for the pre-party before we head over to Jody and Mel's bonfire. Hmmm..maybe I'll get some pics over there! Till next time,

Liss

    Someone should start up the "Gumpy Gorman Reality Bus Tour" (only $37.50 for the tour and a bite-size 3 Musketeers).

    Actually, it'd probably be an even $40 for the tour and a 350ml bottle of Hermit.

    I can't wait to get home and take a ride on the bus.. I think I'll fit right in. I thought only people from away called the Miramichi "the Chi". Shame on you!!!

    Yeah, you're absolutely right Dean! Darcy is paranoid about me saying where I'm "really" from ...so I used "Chi" because everyone knows what it means. Since you've just blown my cover, guess I can just say "Miramichi" now. Thanks man! Heh heh!

    And I just noticed the bridge in the background of the Boston Pizza photo. Expert framing!
