There is no shortage of finger-pointing and theories regarding how Old East Village (OEV) reached its current state. While agreement on those is hard to find, one thing is very clear. It needs our help.
London Ontario Online News (The Loon) is a reader-supported publication. To ensure you continue to receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
While it is important to talk about the policies, mistakes and failures that have created the current crisis within OEV. It’s also vitally important that we take action to improve the area. OEV has so much to offer. I‘ve been spending extra time in the neighbourhood over the past several weeks enjoying some of those offerings. In this week’s Steve’s Reflections, I share some thoughts on a recent visit. In upcoming weeks, I’ll reflect on some of the current challenges; bringing in perspectives of some of the people who live and work in the neighbourhood.
