Walking in Waterloo Region

[tomh009]

On a more positive note, I ended with a nighttime walk through the Frederick/Civic residential areas which was very nice. I spent most of my life taking walks after dark, and I've just realized how much joy that brought me and how much I've been forced to miss out on that by living downtown.

Forced to miss nighttime walks -- because it's too dangerous? Or something else?

I complain about the pedestrian infrastructure in Wellington (NZ) a lot. It's hostile. But usually one is walking by interesting things at least. (It's just impossible to cross the street where you want to at certain key times). This is sadly not the case in much of KW. Sometimes there are interesting things, but too often there aren't.

We find many things of interest on our downtown walks. There are lots of houses from different eras, architectural details, renovations, parks, gardens, construction projects, cats, giant tortoises (OK, only one of those). But it of course depends on what you find interesting.
