Jamie what you see in the picture are the kinds of people who hang out of Rideau Street and the Market as well as downtown (Centretown) as well as many areas but Rideau Street’s reputation along with Rideau Centre has always been a mighty big problem. I shake going down there in daylight and never go there since a mighty long time and never will.
