That got me thinking, which is the best place to live for walkability, shops, eats etc. I think the Riverview/Lord Roberts area is the winner in that regard.

That's my area... I agree, it's great. It's varied but definitely not gentrified to the point where the Osborne strip is only lined with fancy gift shops and hair salons or whatever.
For what it's worth I'd say the Corydon area is also pretty good, and of course there are many other areas that fit the bill too (Old St. B., West Broadway/Wolseley, etc.).
But I will say, I don't see the north Exchange/Chinatown area as being dead at all... I mean, it's quiet on Sunday when places of business are closed, but frankly how many places in town are really bustling on Sunday? We don't really have many neighbourhoods that people gravitate to on Sunday the way you might see in other cities.
