Keeping Up re: Spacing Ottawa

If you're interested in seeing what else I've been writing and taking pix of for Spacing Ottawa of late...

A selection of pieces, mostly devoted to urban history, particularly with regard to street names. Those seven thousand or so street names had to come from somewhere after all.
