Wait till you see cyst videos.
.....why the hell would people film cysts (or toilets, for that matter)?

I don't think there are any areas around Woodroofe that are so bad you'd want to avoid them at night, but I would highly advise against renting an apartment anywhere near a 2x3 block radius around the shopping center at the corner of Woodroffe & Baseline.
There is a set of apartments there affectionately known to locals as "The Four Holes", aka the Baseline Court Apartments. Do yourself a favor and never even consider them. They are so bad that the complex is a running joke amongst West End Ottawans.
Also, the Minto Apartments on Baseline & Navaho (I think they're called "Aventura", or something like that) are pretty sketchy, but not so bad if you don't mind smelling weed 24/7 and having unreliable (but not necessarily bad) neighbors. It's a building right next to Algonquin College, so there are definitely going to be some party apartments nearby.
Outside of those two spots, everywhere else is super-liveable. Even some of the other lower-income houses like Woodvale Green in Craig Henry, or some of the spots in Tanglewood, they're all totally fine. The Woodfield corridor, outside of the Four Holes and possibly those Minto apts, is very safe.

11 days in is not enough to deem the year "depressing".
Welp, I absolutely bombed my essay.
I'm depressed
I need it to be 2023 and fast!
Times passes so slowly and yet so blindingly fast these days.
Why? Retiring?
What was it about and how did you bomb it?

2 kidney stones in one week! I basically feel like I gave birth to twins.
Yeah, and the outcome much less satisfying!My sympathies. I have it on good word that passing stones is way more painful than child birth.
A running joke? How so? Just poorly run/dirty, etc? Not crime related?
I was looking into Greenbank Towers a bit, are they a good apartment complex?
Also, any general advice about the Ottawa area? Places not to miss for food, entertainment, etc?
The "FourHoles" have been extensively renovated and now charge above market rents, it has been years since they have been converted from the drug-infested dumps to nice apartments. The people behind it , however, overestimated their returns a wee bit, though.
It is a high rent, high turnover area. I would steer away from Greenbank and move North on Woodroffe, if possible, it is in your price range. Are you looking for a 1 or 2 bedroom?
There are tons of great places, where are you coming from in Ontario? It depends on where you are going to be I guess. Off the top of my head, there is Lone Star (TexMex), The Works (burgers), Giovanni's (Italian), lot of good sushi places, we can be here all day!
Entertainment, there is the Byward Market (bars), the obvious hockey, CFL, NASL teams, Lansdowne Live, plenty of places to entertain.
Considering I already lost 3 friends in the year...I can deem it depressing so far.
Nah, I retired 5 years ago. I shouldn't have said anything. People were talking about the year, how it's awful already etc.

Ah. Joke went over my head haha.
My condolences, man.
Well, Ottawa. It's been a blast. Will be moving to Petawawa on Thursday.

Aaaah don't mention stones! Still recovering here.Just a stone's throw away from Ottawa, really.

A book called Outliers (really darn good book btw, one of my favourites)
I had some really good points, just my sentence structure was off and stuff like that.
My sentence structure has always been bad, so meh. I didn't absolutely blow it, was just a reactionary thing. I passed the essay, but well below my usual standard.
English has always been my kryptonite.
That is my biggest fear in life.
Next time PM me and I'll go through your essay if you want. I am an english major after all.
Really? Thanks Smeddy! Will definitely take up that offer should I need to.
