Downtown CP.
Is the town making the right decisions for what was and what will be CP’s Main Street?
Many small businesses have suffered to the point of closing for good. Personally I don’t think Covid had as much influence with this as many have been lead to believe.
Downtown problems have lingered for many years. Is it simply a common trait with many small towns?
Unfortunately what has been done, has been done. I’m looking forward to an improved downtown and like everyone else I’ll know in the near future how town council faired with their decisions and planning.
In this section, I will be focusing on what is here, for the residents (new and old) and the visitors… to Downtown Carleton Place.
So come back often for what I hope is interesting, entertaining and informative downtown posts for all to share.

It wasn’t used in the 1800’s. Well it wasn’t documented anywhere, to suggest it was. It seems to me that somewhere between 1920s and early 1960s, it came to be used ‘commonly’.
