For any of you in Ottawa or planning on visiting anytime soon, be prepared for a shock if you head to our neighbourhood businesses on Bank Street. In short, the place has become a war zone. They are completely ripping up the street all the way from the Queensway to Lansdowne, making access to all our favourite shops and eateries (as well as our upcoming daycare!) a little bit difficult. It is slated to be like this all the way until November and needless to say, we are already looking forward to it being done. Oliver, on the other hand, is excited by every trip we make to the construction area. He loves the big trucks, the digging, the dump trucks, everything he sees. I swear we wouldn't even need a babysitter, we could just park him in front of a digger and he would watch it work for hours on end. The workers are all very nice and are happy to have an audience, plus they have done their best to keep stores accessible and cross streets open where they can. It definitely could be worse and hopefully will make a huge difference when it's done and the Lansdowne project will be the final piece to a wicked rejuvenation. Short term pain for long term gain but Oliver disagrees, he says keep the big trucks rolling and digging!
Mommy, big digger!
Girls think it's cool to see these machines at work too
