Hey folks, just a small collection of links to pass along today.
First, when I’m not busy ranting and\or raving about urban issues, I also enjoy a little bit of culture. Which is why I spent this past weekend out at Brittania Park enjoying the Folk Festival; I’ve subsequently written of a review of it for Apartment 613. You can check it out here.
Second, RealGrouchy posted an interesting email exchange last week which revolves around graffiti and street art. It’s a very interesting read, and if you care about issues surrounding street art I suggest you give it a look.
Third, (Cult)ure Magazine put up a piece on the politics surrounding sports in Ottawa-Gatineau, and how City Hall has screwed up a number of times by creating a poor marketplace for professional sports. It’s a good read, especially considering the final version of the Lansdowne Live proposal will be released next Wednesday.
And finally, Archie, Jughead and Dilton come to Ottawa. Need I say more? Part 2 is here, and part 3 is here.
The Ottawa Project 
Thanks for the link.
Turns out I have a copy of the same Archie magazine. I guess it’s a small blogosphere, after all.

Interesting link there re: the sports situation. And I think I’d prefer the MLS and CFL teams both operating out of Lansdowne myself. We’re trying to build a city we can have fun in while still containing urban sprawl, right?
Me too. Though realistically, I think we’re more likely facing a few years of a USL-1 team before we ever see the MLS in town.
USL, I’ve since heard of as a competitor to MLS. “USL-1”, though?
USL Division 1, the highest level of the league.
