I bet London never saw this coming 30 years ago! It just plain sucks to hear how awesome things are going an hour down the road, and it makes us look like we're stuck in the stone age.
Still, London is way more of a city than the grown together mess that is K-W. We have 1 real downtown with (currently) a better skyline. Not to mention the city's location, and layout makes sense. Right at the forks of a river, smack dab in the middle of Southwestern Ontario, with a traditional grid pattern.
If only we stepped it up a bit. It just grinds my gears how K-W is planning all this great stuff, meanwhile we're still bickering over ever building a ring road, or ever thinking of maybe perhaps wanting to get LRT. They built a much better highway system long ago, and look at them now. Planning LRT also.
I think the real passing of the torch for capitol of SW Ontario will be when they take our 10th place on the top Metro list(without Cambridge I believe). It's getting pretty close now.
I mean no disrespect to K-W, I'm just jealous!
