I use a commuter bus to get into the city for university. This isn't perfect, but it worked fine for me last year and the year before ( Read more... )

Today, after meaning to do it for years, my friend and I finally got together for a trip down to the unofficial "gay village" area in Ottawa. Specifically, we've always wanted to visit After Stonewall (a bookstore) and Wilde's (an adult store mostly for queer clientele ( Read more... )
