Reinventing

One of the things that happens, as we grow older, is that naps become more frequent. And it seems that I must have been napping when, as is claimed in a recent book, Brantford was reinvented. But, even awake now, I fail to see the results of this reinvention. Yes, there may be some old buildings in the downtown that have been restored (while many more have been destroyed or are about to be), and there may be more people in the form of students downtown but little else has changed due to the university being locate here, unless you count it's impact on our ever rising tax rate.
