In Ottawa for the weekend (specifically, the Market) for the first time since I wrote a bunch of stories set in Ottawa (specifically, the Market, U of O campus and environs thereabout) and very tempted to take a bunch of photos just to diagram exactly “Okay, so here’s where [thing] happened,” 🤔
Pedestrianization and repeated redevelopment means that the infamous Coral Reef (alias the “Oral Grief”) was rrrroughly where the Zara and parking garage entrance are now, for instance; Marcy is stepping out onto this curb, in this outfit (art by @distressedegg, of course).
BareFax still remains there in the Market, after all these years; it's practically as much of an institution as the opening-in-1849 Laff by now
