For Mount Pleasant Residents: The Community Centre Update

For those of you who live in the Mount Pleasant area, I have some good news and some bad news. The new Mt. Pleasant Community Centre was that was going to open this summer is experiencing some delays.. We've been watching this development grow and have been excited in the knowledge that our community centre was going to be only a few blocks from our place. We e-mailed the city to find out what was going on and they responded with a "delay notice".

It looks like we are all going to have to wait until next summer. 2008. Ah, well. I guess heading up to 15th isn't all that bad. We just have an aging community centre that has out grown its particular facility (at least, in my opinion) and little money appears to be funding the maintenance of the facility due to the new building being constructed. I may be wrong, of course, as I don't know the inner workings of the parks department - it is only my fear. I have a lot of that going around these days.

Down with fear - and open my new community centre!

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.
