Answers to some of your questions from a DECer whose family lives
in Cambridge.
> Is Lulu's still the largest pickup joint in the world ?
Yes.
> Did that Toyota plant in Cambridge get built ?
Not yet. It is in the construction process. (lots of framework,
construction vehicles, construction jobs, etc.)
> What's the economy like over there ?
Pretty good. The Golden mile in Cambridge (Hwy 24 South) is so
crowded now (we have all the fast food places). Houses have doubled
in price (i.e. a new detached home (3 bdrms) is going for 200 grand
now).

| 89.2 | I remember..... | TRCA03::THOMSON | David W. Thomson | Fri Aug 12 1988 16:10 | 17 |
| I was born and raised in K-W, went to UoW and moved away to live
the in "Big Smoke" (Toronto). The thing I remember most was
Oktoberfest. I haven't been for a number of years now and I hope
to attend this year. Got to be careful, though, my beer drinking
skills aren't what they used to be.
In reference to fired police chief in .0, I had all but forgot about
him. Didn't that have something to do with abuse of power and motor
cycle gangs. It was an interesting case. Motor cycle gangs were
a big problem in that area. I recall that at the time, the police
chief had the emotional support of most of the city (didn't seem
to do him any good though). The last I heard he was working for
a police department in the Toronto area.

Re -1
I know it usually ends on Thanksgiving which is Oct 9, therefore it
probably starts on 28 Sept. I am going on Oct 8th.
Have fun.
