That's dangerous thinkin', boy.
As I was waiting for a bus at Mackenzie to get to the train station today, I must admit that I was fantasizing about what it would be like to not have to make my way out to Ottawa's arsecrack to catch a train...

But one way or another, it will be very interesting to see what becomes of the station after the Centre Block renos - all of a sudden, it will be a freshly-renovated heritage building in the heart of central Ottawa. It will be 2028, so hey, perhaps we'll be talking about a downtown station back then, who knows?
