Cynthia Nikitin surveys the dismal state of a Canadian parking lot.

The video below, from Canada’s Edmonton Journal, catches PPS’s Cynthia Nikitin in action, doing a tough critique of an Edmonton strip mall. Don’t miss the part where she asks a somewhat bemused pizza shop owner if he would consider creating an outdoor seating area to replace the benches near his storefront — because, as she so correctly points out, “It’s just hard to eat pizza on your lap.”
