Galactic Wanderings

Part 2

So after I walked around most of Kensington, I headed to 8th Avenue downtown aka Stephen Avenue.

This area of downtown is kinda unique. An eclectic mix of old and new, side walk cafes, shops, offices. You can walk from from one end of the downtown office / shopping buildings to the other end, all entirely INDOORS if you wanted, but best on the street. All the buildings are connected to one another via walkways, bridges, overheads. Kinda useful in winter when its -40C. That outdoor pond is a ice skating rink in winter.

Including an indoor garden along the way.......on the 6th floor
