I'm not often here after the sun goes down. Wait, rephrase that: I'm not often here at all. Dundas Street was once the retail and commercial spine of downtown London, a vital artery that fuelled the city's growth.

These days, like so many downtown retail streets, it's a mere shadow of what it once was. Decades of efforts to revitalize it are starting to generate some encouraging results, but it'll be a while before it's anywhere close to that old vital-class standard, where families looked forward to coming here evenings and weekends, and no one sighed at the very mention of the word, "Dundas".

We'll get there. Until then, I'll shoot flashes of its former brilliance wherever I can find them. Like here.
