Neighbourhoods, Ottawa?

[SaggyBalls]

Moving to the city and I'm looking for a good part of the city to live...

Centretown/Hintonburg is my first thought, but where else is worth looking for a great space within walking distance to amenities and is still affordable (cheap) to rent?

I lived on the edge of Sandy Hill for a while and really enjoyed it. There is a ton of student housing there, but we were far enough away from that to avoid the "student ghetto" situation. Lived just off Rideau Street and a doable walk to the Market.

I honestly think you'll enjoy living anywhere-even more certainly, if you adopt the makeup and facial expressions of your avatar.

It sure seems to have worked for you!

I was truly spoiled in downtown Vancouver and want to ease back in from country living) - bars/music/restaurants are secondary to me at this point but I don't want to paint myself into a corner.

older homes and bigger trees, close to markets and transit please.

If I can get an amazing space for under $800 a month (I'm looking online with little luck for incredible apartments...so neighbourhood is making a difference) then I'm set.

High ceilings, studio/loft apartment with decent plumbing and lots of windows...I'd be almost anywhere in the city for a place like that especially if I could make all the noise I'd want.

for $800?

oh wait, this isnt Toronto... carry on.

PS... i loved my time living by Mooney's Bay in the South end.

This rhyme made be laugh a lot

Good luck finding a place to store your cot

Loud music apparently gets you off

I'm surprised no one's suggested Hull.

[Schwa.]

Just across the river,

A place where he can giv'er.

[Booche]

If you want to live in a tiny bubble

Move to Hull and join the rubble

[Davey Boy 2.0]

Hull they say, a shangri la

where you can transform into your avatar

[Schwa.]

Davey Boy has a room

But first you need to be his Groom.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

Alas I'm all out of KY Jelly

Maybe you can rest on Schwa's pillow-belly

[Schwa.]

Let's keep this focused on Rob

do we also need to find him a job?

[Davey Boy 2.0]

Beekeepers aplenty in this town

or maybe he could hook up with Bouchon le Clown

[AD]

A job, they say, can be hard to find

Unless you're rimming Davey's behind

[Schwa.]

FTW.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

AD got fired from that position

For breath that smelled like he'd been fishin

[SaggyBalls]

should I rhyme more?

[Freak By Night]

Yours truly, trying to find new digs

all he got was rhymes from pigs

[Davey Boy 2.0]

It's true this thread, it might be achin'

But one's man's pig is another man's bacon

[gentlemonkey]

on pillows of satin

your tired head shall lay

most likely in a burrough

of ye olde Vanier

[SaggyBalls]

I want to make sure that I can wheel my little bass rig down the street on a folding hand cart without getting jumped and without having to carry a weapon.

[meggo]

more rhymes please!!!!!!!

[Northern Wish]

Although Hintonburg is really quite superb;

it'd just better not be anywhere near me.
