My studio group last year decided to use Brantford for our redevelopment project. There is so much potential there, and from talking to locals, things are really starting to improve. (Laurier and Nippissing seem to be getting a lot of credit) We had breakfast at a restaurant on the square with the skating rink, and we were the only people in the place. By time we finished, there was a little event going on in the square and it started getting busier.
Icomm Drive really annoys me. Could they have picked a worse name?
I have a few pictures I took during the site visit that I will put up if wyliepoon is cool with it.
PS. Downtown Brantford was the set for Silent Hill. The area was actually turned into Silent Hill while the movie was being filmed. Funny how it still resembles it.
