In Montreal, drinking alcohol at parks is common and mostly legal. It’s normal to meet up with friends with some beer/wine and snacks. There are often bathrooms and individuals collecting empty cans for the deposit. I find this fascinating. What about where you live? Common or not? Legal or not?

Friday Night with some vintage vinyl. Donald still hasn't found his pants.

Victoria, BC has made a section of Government St. car-free from noon on every day and it's made a big difference to how pleasant it is to walk down, shop, and hang out there. In the height of tourist season, there's room to move around as there hasn't been in the past. It's great!

What makes this a nice NEIGHBORHOOD STREET? • Trees • Sidewalks • Safe mix car & bikes • Parking just one side • Humps each 50 meters • 30 Kph (20mi) max speed Equity? Seems to be the standard in upper income neighborhoods of Toronto, but rarely seen in lower income. Why?

One of the perks of being up early for work, is the natural beauty that comes with it. #SaintJohnNB #NewBrunswick
