Queen Street Urban Revolution's Counter-Culture

Two centuries after the first settler cleared this road, old and new still mingle on Queen Street South. This community garden is directly opposite the Joseph Schneider House and beside the museum where flax is still grown and spun by hand to be knitted into garments in the living history museum.

According to Nancy Finkle, Kitchener Downtown Business Association," The people themselves are really kind of laid back people that really love what they do. That is what they are and who they are — they are here to do what they love,” she enthuses. “I think that Queen Street is an eclectic group and it reminds me of the very early days of Yorkville,” she adds. http://www.echoweekly.com/viewstory.php?storyid=4230&page=6
