On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

With apologies to a certain musician whose name is unavailable for immediate recall for the title. The rephrase seemed to fit, given recent comments from vonandmoggy, particularly "Moggy", as well as my own observations from recent visits to Centretown here in Ottawa.

One of the perils of summer in Centretown is that everyone and their third cousin twice removed decides -- with just cause, I hasten to add -- to get in on the construction/demolition/renovation/reconstruction/retrofitting craze that begins the moment the thermometer climbs consistently above 15°C.

Thus far, I've seen:

• a row of restaurants, furriers and whatnot demolished to make room for the regional HQ of what used to be just the Alberta phone company.
• assorted streets, a block at a time, getting ripped up to allow for retrofitting of sewage, hydro, water, IT and other modern infrastructure.
• the World Exchange Plaza getting its ground floors' exteriors a Very Thorough Cleaning.

And the list goes on.

Loads of fun to watch, and I should take a camera to it someday soon, before the heavy iron involved gets spirited away to some other batch of similar sites elsewhere in town.
