Editor: I’d like to say something about the Uptown Live! festival this past weekend.
The City of New Westminster seems not to have cottoned on to the fact that the uptown area has more than a dozen residential towers circling it, which makes uptown a residential neighbourhood.
Now I like bread and circuses as much as the next man, and I knew I’d be hearing the sounds of live music all day, but by five o’clock I was about ready for a peaceful evening. And by nine, I was wondering how Mayor Cote would like it if someone set up lousy sound systems under his bedroom window.
A lot of older citizens live in these towers, you know. And we’ve got nothing better to do than vote.
