Is Ottawa the City that Fun Forgot?

[ue]

I'm not trashing the city and don't really put much thought into Ottawa tbh, especially considering I wasn't there within the past 6 months. I'm just offering my outsiders opinion. I certainly didn't have this less-than-amazing impression of the city prior to visiting. There are still a great many things about Ottawa, but I can definitely see where people are coming from regarding the 'dull' impression. Many people do move to Ottawa and love it and if you love Ottawa then great, you're in the right city, and I can definitely see its charms. I remember the cab driver from the airport remarking over how much less hectic Ottawa is compared to Toronto and how it's more 'homely'.

That's interesting about Edmonton, I wouldn't think people would know much about our art scene or even really much about the city out East. We're kind of off-the-radar compared to Calgary, unfortunately...
