I thought the original terminal canal basin is/was where Scottish Widows built their new megalith? It was huge. And empty for soooo many years just beyond the old Co-op HQ. I forget the names of all the streets now, but anyway. It will be good if some life and destination is put back into the canal. Guess the canoeists had to finally move.
Things change. I enjoyed learning about all the canal history and cycling along the towpath for many years out to work. But life moves on and things change. So what will be will be.
I would feel very bored or frustrated if things didn't change with time actually. I know I still hate Mill Road in Cambridge cos it still had the same effect on me last time I walked up it. Like walking in Gorgy/Dalry. It just wasn't my territory.
But Edin. Well, I do enjoy seeing new things and changes each time I go there. Even if I don't like them all. It is alive, a true living city... but still too cold for me in the winter :)
