Good news! Ottawa City Council has designated The Mayfair Theatre as a ‘property of cultural heritage value’ under the Ontario Heritage Act.  This means that it can’t be torn down or altered without permission from the City Council (who would be crazy to give it)! An Ottawa South landmark, the Mayfair has been supplying fun and entertainment to area cinema [...]

Trade in for a Dinner Jacket!

Refusing to buy the often repeated argument that Ottawa is somehow less style savvy than those other larger cities we all know, friends and partners Ashley McConnell and Justyna Baraniecki are working hard on developing a different pitch.   These two transplanted go-getters have combined a love of fashion with their obvious creative talents, and have just kicked out their first ever edition of The [...]

Here are a few recent anecdotes from blogland Ottawa… Decorate it Darling is presently in the midst of her move.  Pictures of decorating progress in her new pad are posted here, and the place is looking particularly pleasing.  While not exactly available locally (unless shipping costs are easily covered), The Materialist showcases some very cool vintage and one-of a kind furniture.  This is [...]

CATwalk 2008 – A slow stroll through Centretown
