rfmcdonaldToday's [PHOTO] post, to the extent that it had a theme, was about things which seemed like good ideas but eventually came apart. At one point someone thought that building an Italian sandwich shop with a sideline in catering on that northern perimeter of the Annex which is Dupont Street was a good idea. Maybe it was a good idea for a time. The name change and the empty storefront leave me thinking that, eventually, it stopped being a good idea.
That's a story of one sandwich shop in one neighbourhood. On the same scale, there are many other restaurants--and shops, and sundry other attractions--in many other neighbourhoods that had similar fates. On smaller scales, there are individual projects; on larger scales, there are great endeavours. My friend Stephen has argued that the 1960s-era dream of manned space travel might be such a project.
You? What do you have in mind?
