The only time in my life I bought an album based solely on a band's album covers. Never heard a note, never heard of them. Got home, played it. It was everything I expected and much more.

We learned so much during that time--like that the original Pandora Avenue still exists beneath the Square--the pavement, sidewalks, storm drains, water mains; everything, so they told us.

I'd likely have forgotten all this years ago but the subject of Centennial Square keeps coming up and my memory gets rebooted. Sometimes I go back and review my old notes as there's still lots I've forgotten.

It was suggested at the 2008 charette that the decision in the 1960s to terminate the shopping arcade at the washrooms instead of extending it to the MacPherson doomed its retail chances of success.

The library has to go to the Square, preferably in conjunction with other public-facing services (Richmond's is next to their art gallery, Saanich's is adjoining their rec centre).

I'm not sure how I feel about government putting competing services on either side of Foul Bay and North Dairy Roads and letting them loose in a brutal war of attrition until one or more goes bankrupt. I guess that's capitalism.

I really believe the far-right rage-bro fury at Painter is mainly due to his hair being an inch taller than they prefer.

It was bizarre to see the far-right outrage about Painter's roots in the NDP. The claimed the Conservatives failed to vet him as if his lefty past was some deep secret.
