* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

Favourite place/thing in Ottawa that doesn't exist anymore? (sh.itjust.works)

What is your favourite place in Ottawa that doesn't exist anymore? I've spent most of my formative years outside of Ontario, but as a frequent visitor and now resident Ottawa always struck me as a place that doesn't really value the longevity of cool stuff. Maybe it's just ignorance of the economic forces involved, but any time I was shown something cool here I always left with the sense that it wouldn't be there next time.

For me, I divide this into places I've been and places I didn't get to go.

Some of where I've been:
-Invisible Cinema
-The InfoShop on Bank
-Rideau Bakery
-The Ex when it was still at Lansdowne.

Some of where I didn't get to go:
-The Beachcomber Room
-Capital Music Hall

What about you?

Mellos for me.

I used to work in the market and go out with friends there at least once a week. We had a lot of great memories and the food was delicious.

My favorite place to get hangover day drunk for breakfast. So many good memories I don't remember.

Mellos is an excellent choice. I'm happy I got to experience it once before it closed, but I slept on that place for WAY too long.

It didn’t look like much, but the cauliflower bites and the burgers were awesome. The staff were fun people too.
