Surrey moves to create a true downtown

“‘By relocating city hall, we will be demonstrating our faith in the future of our downtown core to investors,’ Watts told an enthusiastic crowd Thursday in her annual state-of-the-city speech to the Surrey Board of Trade.

The move symbolizes the city’s determination to create an urban-style downtown that she called ‘the future of the region.’”

Pack your bags crackheads, prostitutes and homeless. You’re all moving to Langley. Don’t you love the smell of gentrification in the air? How about some form of affordable housing for the people who still live in Whalley and are going to be displaced by Mayor Watts’ grandiose plans?

I apologize to anyone who actually comes here on a regular basis for not updating or posting anything since… September 7th? Wow. The unreasonable educational demands of school coupled with the relentless frigidity of the Haligonian winter have rendered me both intellectually drained and completely fucking frozen, respectively.That being said, I’m currently about a month and a week shy of finishing my first year at a real university. Do I feel smarter? Not necessarily, but I do feel like I know a lot more. Do I feel like I’m getting something out of it? Absolutely. The lessons I’ve learned, the friends I’ve made, and the experiences I’ve had may not be unique to the Nova Scotian university experience, but I don’t feel like I could have got them anywhere else.In any case, seeing as I haven’t logged into WordPress in like 7 months, it seems I need to run some updates here.
