I'm assuming by Borden = Benton for the above few posts.

Yes, I just routinely get them backwards. Though we really could use some better cycling facilities N/S in that area east of Sterling to link up with the LRT stations and new density going in.

You assume correctly - I always forget about Benton and all streets become 'Borden' for me (whoops haha)
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 06-02-2023
I do that too haha. I frequently mix up Frederick and Franklin as well.

Stirling.

The Building beside the right side of the Iron Horse trail on Gage (McGillivray Trenchless) is now vacant. I'm thinking some sort of development will probably be in the works. I looked on both the development application site and land owner site and didn't find any info.

Stirling.
Do I even live in the city? Debatable.

I became a true Kitchener resident the day that I spelled Breithaupt correctly on the first try (aged 34, after having lived in the region my entire life).
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 06-05-2023
I suppose there are a few ways to tell the true mark of a Kitchener resident. If I give you a random address on King Street, would you know exactly what township or city to go to without looking on Google Maps? Do you know how to disarm Tina the Hunchback? Do you know where the popular cruising grounds are? Have you been in the UW tunnels - without getting trapped in that one room that is just a desk and a phone that you have to call in shame because the doors into said room lock once you enter it? Do you know where they hid Kaiser Wilhelm's bust?
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - KevinL - 06-05-2023
I have a simple shibboleth - pronounce the name Weber.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - creative - 06-05-2023
I have lived my entire life here. We used to use “you can’t get there from here” when asked directions. The other response was “do you know where Hiway Markets is?” You would can an excited response until you answered “Well it’s nowhere near there!”
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - GtwoK - 06-05-2023
Supposedly, the vacant spot on King (that was beautifully renovated a few years ago but has remained tenant-less) next to fresh ground has been sold to a developer.
Golide's has been told they only have a few months to vacate, and in looking for a new location, they had their eyes on that space. But, just the other day, that apparently went up in smoke when a developer very suddenly bought it.
Considering fresh ground never reopened after closing during the pandemic, I wonder if that property would be included in the development too.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 06-05-2023
Vacant and renovated spot on King, next to Fresh Ground? Are you referring to the old Braun's space? As I recall, NEO Architects have already moved into that one.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Joedelay Highhoe - 06-06-2023
Maybe 270 King?
