This weeks Theme is Shiny

Last summer we went to Chicago to visit my brother and his family. It was a long drive back and forth and a very short visit. We were there to go to a concert and well visit with family.

During one of the days we were there we drove into downtown Chicago and proceeded to take our own walking tour of the city. This shiny moose was one of the great sculptures that we saw and photographed.

We loved Chicago BTW. It’s very much like Toronto. If you ever get to go to either city you’ll now have an idea of what the other one is like.

Toronto beach

This is a photo that Trish took of me standing on an old pier over looking Lake Ontario here in Toronto.

The lake is huge, and since it was January when the photo was taken there were no boats on the water. I was just looking out into a vast open space.

Don’t forget to check out Tricia’s sites too. She’s got beach, boardwalk and empty trees going at her two sites.

Massive burger

That has to be one of the biggest burgers that I’ve ever seen! We have a place here in Toronto called Dangerous Dan’s and they make a huge burger too.

I think it’s called the colossal burger or the colon buster, but I think it’s a bit smaller than the thing in this guys hands.

Look at it! It’s bigger than the guys head, and I don’t think that’s a small guy.

The paper towels and the pitchers of water I can understand but I’m still trying to figure out the helmet.

Could he be wearing it just in case he gets so full he passes out? Concussion protection?

Stopped in for a drink

This weeks Theme is Drink

This is Grossman’s Tavern in Toronto:

It’s where we’d hang out every once in a while back in my college days.

Of course, it’s a bar, so when we’d hang out there we’d have ourselves a drink or two or three … You get the picture?

The bar didn’t always look so nice. They just had it painted a year or so ago. Trish and I, and my brother happened to be downtown last summer wandering around with the rest of my family as they shopped. We’d had enough so we stopped in for a drink. It’s still a dive inside!

We sat outside on the patio, and much to my amazement the side wall of the tavern has these great murals of musicians on the side:

Even though it’s a bit of dive inside it’s still a pretty cool place to check out. Drop in sometime if you’re in Toronto.

Hey, it’s St. Patrick’s Day today. Hmmm maybe we should go to Grossmans or some other Pub and have ourselves some green beer?
