My cousin and I visited last August, 2022. Great place for a day trip! We walk all around downtown. We also went to the small memorial for the radon girl's. Stopped in at the Red Dog for a late lunch. Such a beautiful little town!
I really enjoyed this video. It was an awesome trip down memory lane! My grandparents and cousins lived in Ottawa when was child and have tons of pleasant memories of playing and being in Ottawa! My mom currently lives there.
I was employed as a mechanic at Norem Buick located at 810-20 Columbus Street from June 1970 until August 1974. Good memories and like living there (403 east Main Street.
It's LAY-salle rather than LUH-salle? Also, the huge height difference in the Lincoln-Douglas statue is spot on. Lincoln was a foot taller than Douglas.

You did a great job on this. I lived there too .. many years ago st Columba!!
Thank you very much. It helps that I live down there a while back and grew up there to know a lot of everything about down there.
Utica has been cleaned up also!!!!
I love small towns/cities. It has its own charm.
Amazing it.

I always thought Ottawa's top tourist attraction was the Silver Slipper Saloon.
So this is where you grew up. #beautiful ⛲
Bianchis pizza is the best. So simple yet so good.
Yes very good, but loved Sams
@@mallaholicretailadventures not familiar with sams. I grew up in Streator - dixies and Joe’s were our go to, but if we went to Ottawa then bianchis
…and we loved the pizza at the Orange Bowl in the Peru mall
