Downtown Oshawa

I have high hopes for Downtown Oshawa. After years of talk, this vehicle finally seems to be in drive. You can't deny that the new GM Centre will be a big boost to the downtown... hell I can remember just a few short months ago, myself and my friend Will were wondering if we'd ever see our beloved Constantines play in the 'Shwa, and here they are, January 31st opening for none other than The Tragically Hip. I hear the tickets are moving fast... glad to have mine. Over on the forums we've been talking about how great it'd be to have an after-party at the 'Elvis (the Cons are quite familiar with the place if you haven't heard). If it happens or not, well, it doesn't matter too much. Word on the street this week is the bars have been packed with hockey fans who just aren't ready to head home yet after the game. Even on days when the Gens aren't playing, like last night, the 'Elvis was packed. That could be due to the awesome line-up of bands they had playing, but I feel that people are just ready to head downtown and do a little exploring.

Sometimes I don't realize it but most people still don't know about these gems we have in Oshawa.
