Rosemount

| Sarah Simpkin

I’d been saving some “quick win” branches near my home for precisely days like this one: wet and rainy. I set out across the farm on Saturday morning to visit Rosemount branch in Hintonburg.

Rainy day people.

My route took me east across the farm, north on Fisher Avenue, then a little wiggle to Holland Avenue. Rosemount branch is undergoing a large renovation project at the moment, so OPL have set up a storefront location on Wellington Street West (next to the very charming West Park Bowling). The Rosemount library itself is around the corner on (no surprise here) Rosemount Avenue.

From Rosemount branch, I continued south to Gladstone Avenue, turned left at Parkdale Avenue, and then took Tyndall Street back to Holland.

I retraced my route along Holland Avenue, wiggled back over to Fisher Avenue, then turned toward home on the Experimental Farm Pathway.

Fifteen branches down, 18 to go.
