- Ottawa:
The Unknown City
by rob mclennan
Ottawa may be our capital city but it's also a place of contradictions—the
official version offers numerous, beneficent historic sites, institutions,
museums, and galleries, but there are other stories to be told. In
this latest edition of Arsenal's Unknown City series of alternativecity
guides for both locals and tourists, Ottawa comes alive as a diverse,
quirky town that may look like a government city on the surface but
boasts a small-town charm. The book charts a course through the city's
hidden landmarks, shopping, dining, and nightlife hot spots, as well
as secret histories that will come as a surprise even to life-long
locals.
