The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

not to be pedantic but...Bieber is from Stratford, Ontario

London is in low lying farm country, between the 2 great lakes Huron and Erie. Lots of humidity. That area provides opportunity to live on a lake shore or have a boat, if that's one's thing. Port Stanley is a beach town about 30 minutes south of London that lights up in the summer. The other way on Lake Huron is Grand Bend, another summer party beach for when your kids/grand kids visit. Lots of quieter places along both lake shores.

London with a population just shy of 500,000 should have most things people want/need like goods, services and entertainment. I am always amazed at the big name music acts that role through. London is known as the forest city, so lots of big and bushy green trees. Big University town with University of Western Ontario, a well respected school in Canada.

2hr drive NE to Toronto (the big smoke, the city that never sleeps) and same 2hr SW the other way to Windsor/Detroit.

Probably more than you ever wanted to know about London, Ontario.

Back to lurking...
