    Teach Ben Kenobi about Ottawa.

    I haven't spent much time there. What's the best way of getting around? Where should you look for places to stay? What's this place called 'Westboro' all about?

    "Ottawa is also the capital of Canada. WTF Ben prove it isn't! Jeez..."

    "My friend's dad lives in Ottawa. Yes he does Ben, are you calling me a liar?"

    Do you have any of the Old Lion, Young Lions posters?

    I found a cache of them once and can't find them again.

    Best way of getting around? Either taxis or OC transpo. Depends where you're staying.

    Places to stay? I'd stick to downtown. Vanier is full of welfare frenchies and crack whores, Orleans and Kanata are suburban hellholes.

    Westboro is a shithole suburb that can't decide if it wants to be gansta or yuppie. Avoid it.


    And don't visit Ottawa in the summer, it's too bloody hot and humid. Don't visit in the winter, it's too bloody cold. Spring and fall are ok.

    Well, I'd be working out in Westboro, so.

    Is there any transit out that way?

    Ok, just checked out the map. There's the 60 train with a stop at Westboro. Great. Now I have quite a few more options.

    If I've got it correct, it's about a 20 minute train from downtown to Westboro?

    You can't teach Ben Kenobi anything. He already knows everything.
    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

    If I didn't have BK on Ignore, I would not know where to begin to teach BK so many other, more important things.
    This is where an awesome Mark Twain quote would be, but Apolyton says it would be too many lines. :(

    The 95 bus runs from downtown past Westboro. It's a Transitway route so it's fast, about 10-15 minutes IIRC.

    Not sure about the train, the only line that was in place when I moved was the North/South route from Carleton to Lebreton Flats.

    Ok, thanks so much Thoth. I was meaning your 'transitway'. I've only ridden it once.

    You should be able to find a room at Royal Ottawa. It's pretty close to Westboro.
