An error occurred while saving the comment Since London is already known as the Forest City, giving the moniker a firmer footing in reality sounds like an excellent suggestion.

An error occurred while saving the comment I worked at the paper for more than three decades and was never bored covering events in London. London is a great place to live and deserves a more thoughtful series examining the city in depth rather than this negative and oh-so-shallow foolishness now being run.

An error occurred while saving the comment Years ago the LFP was writing very positive puff stuff on three concrete apartment towers and a reader asked, "Doesn't anyone in the Homes section recognize East Leningrad architecture?" Not only did the Freeps not recognize it then, they don't recognize it now. Very weird.

An error occurred while saving the comment GreatTallNorth2 is dead on and one of the experts consulted in a recent LFP story agrees. With both readers and experts in agreement, why is the LFP not making more of this obvious fact (and clear problem)?

An error occurred while saving the comment I live in Byron near Col. Talbot and find it easier to walk to a lot of stuff than when I lived downtown. I've walked to get groceries, I've walked to the mall (Westmount), I've walked to the drugstore and to get my car serviced. And when I take my granddaughter for a walk, we do not find the place dead with no people. She's got bright red hair and loves dogs; We are constantly stopping as people we meet gush compliments while she oozes delight at meeting a new mutt. In the winter neighbourhood kids plow my driveway, nice when my heart is acting up, and in the summer they are always there to cut my lawn if necessary. You're right, Byron could have more and it once did but as a place to live, it's fine by me and my family.
An error occurred while saving the comment I don't have to imagine a neighbourhood where folk walked to the grocery store; I grew up in such a neighbourhood. It is now gone. Oh, the homes are still there and even the schools but the grocery stores are all gone. The folk in the area learned to take their cars to the store and not one of those old stores had enough adjacent land for ample parking. One little note: I live in Byron and walk occasionally to the grocery store. It still can be done. I guess I don't have to imagine a neighbourhood where it's possible to walk --- but, I do have to imagine folk actually doing it in any great numbers.

An error occurred while saving the comment "Let's focus on what makes us different." This was the theme of an old radio play where folk were encouraged to discover their uniqueness and went quickly mad from the impossible challenge. As you say many places have nice neighbourhoods, markets, even rivers. Mostly, we do what everyone else does but if we want to stand out we must do these things better. Quality is the word. Defining quality is the really tricky part.
Springbank is a great park and you're quite right, more could be done to promote and enhance our largest park.
