Rideau Rockcliffe

Marilyn would be 100 this year.

Rockcliffe Park (the northern anchor of the ward) is a nationally recognized historic district designed in 1864 in the English/American Picturesque tradition.

162 years ago. This historical context alone distinguished Rockcliffe Park. Sure, the rest of the ward has some catching up to do.

Fair's got nothin' to do with it, Rockcliffe Park has the benefit of time and location. But given time, the other parts of the ward will flourish. 

The ward population is turning over. Most of those addresses in the north have only two people living there in each. They are getting old and tired. 

Give Overbrook another 58 years. It will build up and exceed Rockcliffe Park to become a new fresh center of growth and development for Ottawa.

The older staid parts will make for amusing bus tours.
