268 - There & Back Again: Street Edition 📍
Today’s edition of The Localist is a meandering one1 that all started when a link to this article on the origins of Vancouver’s street names (from one of our favourite local newsletter writers: Sameer Vasta) landed in our inbox. 📫
That reminded us of this list of ours on local street names…which then lead to this one about “street art” … and then this one celebrating Sesame Street Day.
By the time we’d made our way through all that, our inbox had now come full circle—having just received this exploration of Springbank Drive from Cedric’s “Southern Ontario Journal.” 📬 👏
