Two Small Things

Deux choses...

"So." — as everyone has taken to saying before saying anything worth saying — this is a blog about the history and geography of a small, loosely defined Ottawa neighbourhood, affectionately named "Nanny Goat Hill". There are two things you should know about that which follows.

Thing One: After some twenty-two years, I'm moving from my apartment in Ottawa's "Golden Triangle" to one just west of the downtown core, close to if not actually within the bounds of said  Hill — a loosely defined place, as I was saying. I look forward to learning as much  as I can about my new home-base and I might as well share my findings with the handful of people who care about such things.

Thing Two: I've lately become obsessed with photographing houses. I hope to include many such pictures in this blog, but over the past summer I've gone more or less blind, this thanks to a matched pair of very agressive cataracts. Surgery is scheduled for this winter, so here's looking forward to looking forward again.
