Uncharted territory

Posted by Magda
The popsicle test took me to uncharted territories. I went to the fourth node (of the city's planned nodes, I'd only ever been to three: Imperial and Paisley, Woodlawn and Woolwich and Clair and Gordon). Watson and Starwood doesn't  look particularly node-like; ok, it doesn't look node-like at all. There's nothing but homes for miles. It didn't help that I went in the middle of yesterday's downpour. Apart from cars and the occasional transport kicking up waves of oceanic proportions, there was one lowly pedestrian, holding a soggy newspaper over his head in vain.

I can see better now why Councillor Bob Bell is fighting for commercial development in the east end. Hopefully that'll include a popsicle store or two.
