City is what it is

Re: Complaints lead to removal of benches, Nov. 27

I do a lot of walking in Centretown, photographing and resting here and there with the odd coffee.

I understand the frustration of business owners but it is also a frustration to the non “Thriller” types such as myself.

Perhaps I’m scary, too. Regardless of all that, there is little the city can do. The area and it’s people are simply the mix that they are.

Personally I’d love to see more garbage cans and more publicity on keeping our city clean.

This is the capital after all and my home.
