Brantford's Rebirth

Brantford - Formally known as the armpit of Ontario.  It's where I was born and it's the place I call home. 

Growing up Brantford, the city didn't offer too much.  With Toronto and London and KW and Niagara, all just down the road, it was a city that forgot to get an identity.  Sure, people lived there, but that was about the extent of it.  There wasn't a whole lot to do.

I'm pleased to say Brantford is on the rise.  I actually love it here, and I don't see myself living anywhere else.  One thing that I'm really starting to love, is the abundance of festivals this city is having.  Off the top of my head, there has been the always great International Villages Festival.  Brantford has also recently played host to a Bluesfest and an amazing JazzFest.  Riverfest and Hockeyfest are now circled on the calendar, and there's even a Ribfest and ComedyFest that I would love to attend next year.

So what's left?

Well, in the next couple weeks, The Brantford Film Festival is going to be on.  It's the second annual, and I'm SO excited to go.  There are a couple movies that I CANNOT wait to see.   One is going to be a tear jerker for sure!

Brantford is becoming a place to LIVE and not just a place to live. 


......and I couldn't be happier.  :)
