21 Things You Can't Deny As A 20-Something From Barrhaven
A small, quiet suburb located in the southwest of Canada’s capital city - where there is entirely nothing to do.
1. You know exactly where the “building with the blue roof” is.
2. Stonebridge’s double-laned traffic circle still gives you anxiety
3. You remember bush parties in the (now non-existent) forest behind Walmart.
4. You tell the young teenagers about “back in your day” in the time before Walmart existed
5. You either went to St Joes, Mother Teresa or John McCrae, and you knew everyone in your grade from the other two high schools
6. You know bussing to school as a Carleton or uOttawa student sucks, but as an Algonquin student, life is pretty sweet
7. You’ve paid a 60$ cab fare at least once (or maybe dozens of times) just to get away from Borehaven and party downtown
8. You know exactly who lives in the house on Tartan with the three street-facing cars, and why that house is so famous
9. Orleans is basically Narnia.
10. You’ve waited while the Strandherd McDonald’s drive thru told you they were “resetting their systems” at 2am
11. You’ve laughed at the ricers with park bench spoilers on their honda civics who spend every night in riocan
12. Despite laughing, you’ve probably spent time hanging out in that parking lot too (especially in grade 7, probably with a frappucino/iced cap in hand, sporting the freshest aeropostale tee)
13. “95x Baseline” is your worst enemy in -40 degrees
14. Another fight at the Mow? Who’s really shocked tho
15. You’ve seen a random coyote or wild turkey around roadways and weren’t even phased
16. The only place to eat after 11pm is McDonald’s or Tim Hortons
17. You know the morning after a night of drinking always calls for a Broadway’s breaky #chefspecial
18. You know that Strandherd Goodlife Fitness is not even a gym anymore - it’s a social club
19. Everywhere within the #barrhavenbubble smells like weed, cow manure or BBQ
20. You got excited about the opening of the riverside bridge - only to realize there’s nothing on the other side
21. High school reunions are unnecessary because impromptu ones take place at Fallowfield station every Monday morning
