It is very uninteresting. Sterile and too perfect. For me it is like Oakville. Please dont let any homeless people here or street people.
DTK feel more like a city to me. I know it has work yet, but it is coming. I am down there every week and the transformation is wonderful. And the cool little restaurants and bars are really great. It isn't that Uptown is bad, just not for me...
See, I think it's a good thing that DTK and Uptown have really different vibes. If they were the same, there wouldn't be a particular draw to one or the other. To me, DTK feels a bit more 'big city' because it's admittedly rougher around the edges, and because it's built upwards in a way that Uptown has really avoided. In comparison, Uptown almost has more of a St Jacobs feel to me - a little sanitized, a little curated, a little bit more about the 'experience' than everyday needs.
I do wish that DTK had an ice cream parlour like Four All that was open late, though. Think they'll expand back into Kitchener anytime soon?
