This afternoon at the office we had a screening of some National Film Board films about Regent Park in the 1950's and 1960's. Mostly touting how wonderful this housing project is and how much better the area would be. Onenof them was narrated by Lorne Greene.
In the first one they where showing us the "slums" of Oak street that ended up being turned into our modern day regent park.
Didn't quite turn out how they intended now did it?
Several of us who were previewing them commented that these slum building seemed surprisingly similar to the fixer uppers we all seem to live in and that all cost piles of money now
The more sarcastic among us have now named our houses "Slum Chic".
