Why you'd want to live in Glebe

Just South of Centretown and adjacent to the winding Rideau Canal, the leafy and historic Glebe neighbourhood features welcoming independently-owned businesses mixed with fun entertainment. The Glebe is centred around Bank Street between highway 417 (“the Queensway”) and Queen Elizabeth Drive. As you stroll along, pop in and out of the unique, locally-owned shops that are full of treasures. Browse vinyl records and other pop culture items at Crosstown Traffic, the latest kitchenware at J.D. Adam Kitchen Co., ladies’ fashion at Delilah and footwear at Glebe Trotters. The Glebe’s independent character is complemented by Lansdowne’s brand-name businesses and big events. Catch professional sports games and concerts at TD Place, buy local products at the year-round Ottawa Farmers’ Market and let loose in the outdoor park space. The park and on-site historic buildings like the Aberdeen Pavilion attract events and festivals like CityFolk, Brewfest and the Canadian Tulip Festival. This is one of Ottawa’s favourite gathering places! via ottawatourism
