Ottawa's Byward Market

[mykl]

I get the point she's trying to make with that article, but it makes no sense. If she lives in Sandy Hill, how is she avoiding the Rideau Centre to travel north/northwest, and then ending up at the worst parts of the eastern end of Rideau? Also, she has selected vignettes of the worst parts of the area. I would wager that a majority of tourists would not end up in many of the areas she describes, as they would likely enter the market from the Sussex/Rideau area and tourists tend to stick to the pretty vibrant areas. This whole thing is ridiculous.
