I do like to come to uptown Waterloo for Jazz, Starbucks and boutique liquor shopping (though you have to carry it a large distance which is stupid). Strange how they wound up with a piece of white concrete with no shade that's really hot. Its best use is for skating in the winter though it's a bit small. I agree with your points and it's strange that Waterloo council isn't a little more active in 'upping their game'. <br /><br />TedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-25171761012163831912013-08-06T11:40:11.452-04:002013-08-06T11:40:11.452-04:00I completely agree. I went to some of the meeting...I completely agree. I went to some of the meetings about the Uptown facelift, until they narrowed their options down to four choices. All had water features and trees, and I would have been happy with any of them, so I stopped going. I could see myself coming down to sit by a fountain surrounded by greenery, have a cup of tea, and read a book. Then somehow we ended up with a sea of concrete and a bell, and I never go there. I wonder how much public input matters - especially looking at the LRT issue. Marie Snyderhttp://www.apuffofabsurdity.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
