connected

On Sunday, Rob and I went to a vintage clothing sale up the road from my house. The sale was in this beautiful space called the Wychwood Barns. One thing that I love about my city is the ability to re-invent old spaces, giving them new and innovative uses. Wychwood Barns was once a streetcar maintenance facility in 1913, but it is now a mixed-use building, with offices for local community organizations, artist spaces, a greenhouse, a farmer's market, and public green spaces. There is always some kind of event or show going on there, and it's a very lively community area. It's so nice to see everyone from the surrounding neighbourhoods enjoying and using the facility to it's fullest.

I hope that you too can get out and enjoy your local community center or local events. I find it makes me feel just a little bit more connected to those around me in this huge city.
