Indeed!

I especially like this shot...

Anybody ever eat in, much less get shots inside, the Canary Restaurant? Despite being outside it and taking shots of it half a dozen times, I pissed my chance away...

I was there twice; the first, and the last.

Thanks, Lone.
The place always looked so much like a 'dump' that I was afraid to go inside.

There's always time for the "numbers game."

What game are they playing with that clock? It seems to have two 4's - one roman and one tally style...

I think they game's called "gravity"... the central "I" of the Roman 3 has collapsed onto the one below it. It's like a riddle, isn't it? When do one and one and one make four...?

 

[EVCco]

Indeed! Whatever the game its certainly time to buy some new V's for that clock...

Goldie,
They look familiar. Do you know there origins?

 

[Conrad Black]

Neat.

Note found on the web:

"The Sculpture Studio was built by Aage Madsen, a Danish wood sculptor. Over the
years it has been home to a number of artists and sculptors."

I can only surmise that these carvings are by Aage Madsen since they are uniquely Danish-looking.

Sixty years ago this was the Dell Tavern, a fine spaghetti house at Elm & Simcoe.
It's the first place I ever tasted spaghetti that wasn't out of a can - and I was hooked for life!
Does anyone know when it went out of business?
