General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[Momo26]

I'm guessing that you're a relatively recent resident who lacks knowledge of the nadir of Downtown Kitchener in the mid 1990s?

I was born and raised here in the 1980s, so I remember the 1990s well. Yes, things have improved, but it's still severely lacking in anything interesting to see or do on a daily basis.

Bingo  

Need things to do, entertainment pure and simple. Places like Toronto benefit from having so much to do (I know their population supports it) and a spill-over effect is simply people watching/lounging around as a form of entertainment...a by-product of there being so much to do/places to go. 

I've said this before, we need an additional influx of 50+ businesses, 2500+ living units/5000+ jobs to start feeling like a real lively metro city/keep people local on the weekends. We are projected to be there within 3-5 years if memory serves me correct.
