The evening begins at 7:00pm and will feature speakers and musicians, as well as the opportunity to see the Guelph is Skin Deep Photography Show.

Blog Guelph: The Diplomat Hotel
As you can see by Alan Norsworthy's photo, the "Dip", formerly known as The Great Western Hotel, has seen some better days.
Here's a wee bit of Guelph 'drink trade' history from the Guelph Historical Society.
“Guelph had more taverns than any other town of its size in Upper Canada. Indeed there were enough hotels and drinking establishments on Macdonnell Street that it was known as “whiskey street”. In 1869, Guelph had a population of 5,700 residents and 20 hotels (19 with liquor licenses) and two saloons, or one hotel for every 285 people. "
On that note, enjoy your weekend.

Blog Guelph: Guelph's First Spring Flowers
In today's series of 8 photos, we touch on a number of spring related news items that did not make any of the major daily news papers that service Guelph - which is a good thing really. Blog Guelph likes to be the reporter of the unreported, perhaps softer G-town news.
For instance - the first spring flowers are poking out here and there.
Makes me smile everytime I see a cluster.
Please click on any of today's pics to see more of the photo artists work on Flickr.

This man is Greg Denton. Likely you have seen him on a stage with his band Dry Tickle. Or maybe you participated in or attended his visual art show, Anyone Lived.

As part of today's news, Greg offers us his very personal sign of spring. Please proceed to the next blog post .....

Blog Guelph: Under the Watchful Eyes of a Frog friend
Today's series of six images is dedicated to the first day of spring in the fine city of Guelph as captured by photo artist Edeva. Click on any of her photograph's to see her full Flickr photostream.
Edeva is also one of the bloggers featured in our Guelph Blog Roll. Her posts are thoughtful and artistically moving - go here to see for yourself.
Our downtown frog lives on the ledge of the fountain of the family statue. Even though Frog never leaves the post - she seems more visible during fine weather.
Frog doubles as a drinking fountain and training ground for Prince seeking women. Although I have not availed myself to either of her services, I'm told she is both refreshing and reliable.

Blog Guelph: Guelph is Skin Deep
Here's a heads up about a fun project that I had the pleasure of participating in....
Guelph is Skin Deep is a community-based project seeking to invoke positive inspiration and a sense of unity amongst the citizens of Guelph. The project is coordinated by a group of undergraduate
students from the University of Guelph under the guidance of Professor Ajay Heble - also top dog of Guelph's Jazz Festival.
The Guelph is Skin Deep idea is to visually present 'enlightening' messages across the city by way of postcard exhibition and distribution.
With the understanding that my answer would be inscribed somewhere on my body, then photographed, I answered this question: Who is a Guelph citizen?
The students hoped for 40 participants. The final exhibition of images is at the Guelph Youth Music Center, 75 Cardigan Street on Friday, March 30th at 7:30pm..
I'm not telling you my one word, three letter answer. I suspect you'll know when my effort glides by on the side of a bus.

Blog Guelph: New City Administration Center
Today's series of five photos is mostly for the birds.
For those of you that are familiar with the old and almost gone Memorial Gardens on Carden Street, this image by VW Busman will be familiar.
The City of Guelph is building a new administration center in its place. And they (city staff and politicians) want feedback regarding the intended use of the public space in front of the new building.
To do this, please drop into the River Run Center at 35 Woolwich Street on Tuesday, March 27 sometime between 4 to 8 p.m..
To learn more about the idea, please click on this link for the Guelph Civic League.
Or for a more negative approach, do nothing so that you can complain and blame later.

Today I'm pleased to feature a six post series of odd shots.
Yesterday I inadvertently misidentified a kissing horse as a kissing cow. As both a farm girl and a University of Guelph Alumni (sure I was an Artsy but still) I'm hoping that this photo, also by Sandra Regina, will set the record straight. I do know the difference.
This is a cow – a glaring, evil looking cow.

And finally, the activity.
I'm on a E-List for the Environmental Working Group. Given the City of Guelph's current concern about our drinking water, I thought this EWG 'bottled water' project might interest you.
"You might think bottle water, with its fancy 'purification' processes and distant exotic origins, would be better regulated than tap water. Think again. Bottled water producers face standards less stringent than those regulating tap water--so why pay so much? EWG is ready to take a closer look at what contaminants may be in your bottled water but first we need your help. Please go to this link and follow the easy instructions."

Blog Guelph: Greater Guelph
Seems like everyone with a pom pom is trying out for the G-Town cheer leading squad these days.
The City has launched a quest for citizen feedback regarding the shape of our future and University of Guelph Prez been getting ink for sending his two cents worth of ideas to Mayor Karen Farbridge..
Now our daily news machine is getting on the Guelph's Great band wagon.
Yesterday I e-terviewed the charming Mr. Phil Andrews, Managing Editor of the Guelph Mercury about 'Greater Guelph' - an idea incubation scheme he and his staff are preparing to unfurl in Guelph over the next few months.
Here's that interview spread over today's series of six photos and posts.
And welcome 'new to Blog Guelph photographer' Funrevival with this contemplative composition of The Church of Our Lady and Mary.

The first thing I wanted to know was why the Mercury is initiating the Greater Guelph project?
Phil Andrews: "The Mercury has a rep as something other than a catalyst for bringing people from this community together. This is an attempt to address that and to give local residents – a great swath of them – a chance to bluesky about Guelph in a way that just might capture the imagination of the group."

From the press release I received I learned that Greater Guelph will take myriad forms. For instance, the newspaper will stage the Greater Guelph Ideafest – an open community brainstorming session and panel discussion event for generating notions for enhancing the Royal City. This event is set for May 5.
I asked Phil to give me some sexy, fun, smart reasons for attending the Greater Guelph Ideafest.
Phil Andrews: "You'll leave it going: "Hmmm, I'm happy I went to that. I want to see what happens next." That's if you just come and passively take in the comments, the kids' art work exhibit on their vision for Guelph's future and the tie I'll be wearing. If you dive in, it will be an even better experience."

The release further explained that the publication part of the Greater Guelph project will emerge in June with essays offered by locals and answering the question what does your optimal Guelph look like, live like, sound like and so on in the future? These can range from 300 to 700 words.
Perhaps this is 'just' me, but I find the word essay sounds a tad – scholastic. Is that what you want Phil?
Phil Andrews: "'Essay,' conjures intimidating writing. Fear not. We're after ideas. Give us lists, 100-word manifestos, point-form notes. All forms of offerings will be considered. We're even allowing folks to leave a voicemailed idea or several at our Greater Guelph Ideas Hotline at 519-823-6077."

"The videos will be shown on the Mercury website. Rogers Cable is also being approached about airing them and the Ideafest."

So Phil, this is not the first time Guelphites have been asked for their opinion. I’ve personally sat in on several – idea tanks – none of which saw the light of day. Once all these idea seeds are gathered, what is the Mercury prepared to do in the implementation department?
Phil Andrews: "We'll catalogue the ideas in a few ways and share those collations with the community in a variety of forms. The ideas we're most struck by will form the basis of future works of why-not here journalism."
"No idea will be considered too big or too small. No contributor will be considered too old or too young."
Thanks Phil.

The Church of Our Lady was not the first church to be built on this site but rather the third.

More from the Guelph Library Archives: In 1877, construction of the Church of Our Lady began and it was not until the chancel, the transepts, and the chapels were built that the back of St. Bartholomew's was removed and the two structures were joined. As the side walls of the Church of Our Lady were built, the remnants of St. Bartholomew's were finally removed.

At first glance the plethora of pinwheels surrounding the University of Guelph's famous cannon look like spring flowers.

Does the coming of spring bring out more potential for sexual assault or is the timing of this undertaking coincidental to the season?

Blog Guelph: Lewis Melville and "Afganistan....On Guard For Thee?"
Today's three post series is dedicated to Lewis Melville and the project "Afganistan....On Guard For Thee?"
Lewis has contributed a kings ransom to the cultural capital of Guelph over the 20 plus year's I've known him. Quite simply, he is a creative genius.
Lewis runs a very busy recording studio in Guelph, performs with countless musicians - including his life partner Tannis Slimmon and thinks up inspired projects like "Afganistan....On Guard For Thee?" - a creative, interactive, multi-disciplinary exploration of Canada's involvement in the Afghanistan War. Keep reading today's series for more details.
This painting of Lew was done on June 26, 2000 by Guelph artist Greg Denton as part of h is Anyone Lived project. Click the pic to see 400 other Guelphites who participated.

My very first Blog Guelph post was dated February 25th, 2006 but I really didn't get the blog ball rolling until August.

The open water is likely a pretty even mix of Eramosa River (arriving into Guelph via Rockwood and Eden Mills) and the Speed River (coming through the north end of Guelph, past the River Run Centre and under our covered bridge).
Many people don't notice or regard our two lovely rivers at all. As water becomes more of an issue for our city, I hope that our waterway appreciation meter notches up and our sense of stewartship improves.

Blog Guelph: Eramosa River Bank
I've canoed the Eramosa River on numerous occasions, usually on Good Friday when the water is running high, often after putting in at Rockwood followed by a picnic stop around Eden Mills. Often there will be a dozen boats in our flotilla. We're always carefully equipped with dry bags and first aid.
Thanks to Scratched Cornea for this wintery image.

Blog Guelph: When Will This Be Over?
Today's series of 6 photos is designed to ease your frustration with the winter that wouldn't start and now won't stop.
Unless of course you LOVE winter. In which case, these posts are not really for you.
Still, you must admit - downtown Guelph does not function nearly as well with giant banks of snow.

Upper Carden Street is a relatively grey feeling section of downtown Guelph at the best of times. The late winter look does nothing to improve on it's monochromatic vibe.

It's minus 19 in Guelph today. Sure the sun is shining - but it's still minus 19.
To ease the frosty bite I invite you to take 2 minutes and 20 seconds and slip back to the summer of 2006 for a Hillside Moment with this 'still to music video'. Just click the play button.

Blog Guelph: Trashy Talk
Here's some trashy news.
Guelph's Erik van Miltenburg got an inspired write-up by Leah McLaren in the Saturday's Style Section of the Globe and Mail. The 'Must Buy' featured Erik's invention: Trashy.
Seems Trashy can make our three stream garbage collection tidy and sexy - the latter feature being sorely missing from the current plastic bag separation mix.
No sooner had I read the piece than my in-box chimed with news from Barking Dog Studio's about Erik's very beautifully created website for Trashy. It was like the Guelph Garbage Goddess was speaking directly to me. I felt one with my three streams.
Visit Trashy here.

We've got your before, during and after shots - okay maybe not after as in over, but rather after as in 'the wind is no longer busting a move through the city'.
Enjoy.

Blog Guelph: March Comes In Like A Lion
Today's series features feathered and four legged friends.
And now for the weather. According to my view, a winter storm has blown into town on this first day of March. Fortunately, there is a saying: If March comes in like a lion it will go out like a lamb.
My Boston Terrier pal Gus suggests not looking.
