I'm not really talking about super obscure things here. Yes, crazy things happen everywhere. I can agree that it is a problem if events do not get a lot of recognition or interest because of their obscurity or secrecy but I personally don't think it is that hard to find things that are interesting in the city. People that complain about how boring it is aren't really looking or are making absurd comparisons to cities like NYC or London then feeling let down about Ottawa.
I am talking more about an arts, music, design, cultural scene that is exciting and is happening now, is helping define the ambitions of a younger generation of people in Ottawa and runs against the idea that no fun is happening in the city. Less complaining (not you acottawa but in general) and more doing, making, engaging will help shed Ottawa of this reputation I hope.
