General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[ac3r]

I guess my point is that your unpleasant is another person's enjoyment.  Everyone views life through a different lense...

A good way to look at it. Letterist International and Situationist International developed the concept of psychogeography/dérive/détournement, which itself grew out of Dadaism and surrealism as a way to explore urban environments. Every person interprets walking in urban spaces differently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychogeography

Victoria Street is not a place I would want to walk very often, but I'm able to appreciate it when I walk along it and view things through a theoretical lense like this. My first thesis in architecture school involved this sort of stuff, so it makes walking in seemingly horrible areas actually interesting to me. It is, indeed, part of actual big city life no matter what. You're obligated to accept it all, even the parts you don't like.
