yup...this town

...like I said, I'm parking some pictures and stuff here...not too clear just where I'm going with this.
The town is kind of cute but clearly lacks any of the vitality you find anywhere in the region of Toronto and west of the so called TO. It looks to me that relatively little is happening east of Whitby...as compared to the boom region of Toronto to the West.
To be quite honest, what the locals try to pass off as quaint and historic around here looks shabby, antiquated and should have been ripped apart some time ago.
One look at the railway system...Oshawa, Port Hope, Cobourg and it becomes clear that this part of the infrastructure is desperately overdue for some extensive modifications and modernization ( anybody hear of high speed rail systems, we have the technology but lack the will do apply it in our own country).
Just released figures by the feds tell us that more and more of us are streaming to the big cities, leaving the small townd sort of standing still. Even the local mini mall is struggling with a high vacancy rate.
