Looking Back

There are divided perceptions on whether this area is a road or a parking lot.

Purvis Lane—I had to look up the name—has parking areas on both sides through the downtown core.
Or, if you prefer, Purvis lane runs through the middle of two parking areas.
Or, perhaps, Purvis lane is both the entrance and the exit to the parking areas downtown!
No matter how you slice it, driving and walking in the area are challenging and no place to be using those handheld electronic devices.

In the photo above we see what is clearly a local, acutely aware that he’s taking both his and a dog’s life in his hands. He’s on foot, travelling from one parking lot, across the road and into another parking lot. Intrepid.

    There’s a spot like this in a town here in Ontario. The street continues to carry on, even while passing between two parking lots for several shops. You do have to be careful.

    It can be seriously amusing during tourist season…
