On Friday, the Prince George Citizen published a story titled “Swim team coach stunned by lack of police response to Prince George Aquatic Centre incident”.
I have been going to Steve & Sons for work on my shoes recently. The location (3rd and George) might be thought of as one of the "worst" in downtown. But it is much the same, safety-wise as it was years ago, when I worked at the Native Health Centre. Less fun because no more Pastry Chef, but not at all dangerous. Carolyn McGhee
you just need to read the comments section of the Citizen to know that asking reasonable questions about what is NOT known, and providing some nuanced thought, is not welcome. As you wrote, Andrew, reading the follow up on the Aquatic Centre story still leaves a lot of questions to be answered. Being the gal who really likes to know ALL the details, I tried not to judge to strongly and often end in my mind with "the objective truth lies somewhere in the middle, probably". It often feels like not taking a side, and being able to acknowledge that more than one thing can be true in a situation makes one an outcast these days. *sigh*
Also, I would pay to watch "The Darrin and Andrew verbal smackdown", throwing zingers at each other like "thou uncouth, big bloused cad!" on a downtown corner one Friday evening. With a cool drink and maybe one of those soft pretzels from Crossroads, of course, and all in good fun.
Totally agree with the comments about downtown...and the last sentence especially. If all the people who say 'I never go downtown' would go there the situation would change.

as someone who spends a lot of time on tumblr, i adore your song choice for today :D here's his excellent response this year: https://www.tiktok.com/@justintimberlake/video/7279880410375408938
For what it's worth, I find Darrin to be a bit of an armchair know-it-all, particularly on the topic of urban planning.
You are quite a bit more nuanced and humble, Mr. K.
