One advantage of small towns.

Across the street from my insurance agent's office, and just a few doors away from two taverns is a corner bookstore that went out of business. Sitting on the sidewalk in front of a large plate glass window is three bricks and a concrete block. They have been there for over a month.

Think you'd see that in "the big city"?

I'd bet not.

Yup I see it all the time in Ottawa . That's not to say there is no violence or vandalism but it's not common in most area's. It's even nicer in Quebec City .
