General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[ac3r]

The problem, though, is that if your downtown renaissance only consists of new restaurants opening and closing then that renaissance isn't going to last very long. Diversity is key to bringing life back to a neglected space and you need more than extremely unaffordable condos, restaurants and weed stores. I think we've been doing a great job here but it's 2023 now...I'd love to see some new businesses and more importantly cultural and civic spaces take a chance at opening downtown. It's still a place that turns into a ghost down after working hours. Unfortunately with the state of the economy after the pandemic, that's going to be hard since everyone is broke and the general outlook on things is quite bearish.
