St. Catharines, 2010.11.20
On my way out the door this morning I glanced into a neighbour's truck and saw a beer can in the cup holder.
St. Catharines is a run down city that's been cruising slowly into oblivion since the car manufacturing jobs floated off for greener pastures twenty years ago. Nowadays it's pretty much a University town and as such revolves around things like catering to the partying that the students do. But .. I kinda wish it wasn't quite as bad as drunk driving being a way of life. My wife and son will be walking these streets in a few weeks.
It was a Budweiser, naturally.
