My friend Joe and I decided to spend Turkey Day on the road this year, and what better place to go than sunny Detroit, MI! Well, we didn’t go for the weather. Instead the main goal was to catch both a Redwings and Packers game in 2 days time. Drove out to decent weather, but … Read more
Final tour ever for the band The Chariot. Sad because I was just getting into them. Have to say their stage presence was probably better than any other band I have ever seen. Moshers were about to get tossed by security (rules and stuff), then the band stopped playing. Josh Scogin, the lead singer, nicely … Read more
The Metro isn’t my favorite venue thanks to it’s cramped quarters but it was definitely worth shoe-horning myself inside to see Desaparecidos. Crowd was nuts, sound was excellent (not overdone like it usually is). Couldn’t really move from the same spot in the back but still a good time. Setlist here. Afterwards we made our … Read more
Caught another Murder By Death show, this time at Durty Nellies. As usual they were spot on and ran through most of the favorites and new songs alike. Solid show. Setlist here. Lat = 42.1136513 , Long = -88.0491333 — Show at Google Maps
On our last day we took a ferry out to Ward’s Island and had some beers at the Island Cafe. Super low key, we were just about the only people out here. Great view of the city looking over the Inner Harbour. Lat = 43.6320152 , Long = -79.3554306 — Show at Google Maps
Our friend Leonidas said we should grab a beer at the Amsterdam BrewHouse and he wasn’t wrong. Beers, great food, cool merch, and a lakefront view with perfect weather? This was probably one of the top places we visited and would definitely go back again. Lat = 43.6378975 , Long = -79.3848648 — Show at … Read more
Other miscellaneous photos from walking around Toronto. Construction in the area was very busy and tons of high-rise structures were going up. Walked by the Toronto Stock Exchange, CN Tower, St. Lawrence Market, and Rogers Center but didn’t go inside. Walked through and around the Roundhouse Park area. With the aid of our local buddy … Read more
Birthday dinner for Dan at Lo Zingaro, a small upscale Italian restaurant in the Queen Street West / Chinatown area. Fantastic hand crafted pizzas and delicious pasta dishes. Lat = 43.6475410 , Long = -79.4009476 — Show at Google Maps
Down the street from our condo was Yonge-Dundas Square, a large open area where outdoor events and gatherings are held. This is at one end of the PATH which is an underground shopping center that is over 30km long and the largest in the world according to the Guiness World Records. During our time we … Read more
Since it has been a few years since I was actually there, I don’t recall the exact order or dates of when we stopped at these places. So for now, I am just putting everything that occurred at about the same time in this post. From what I recall these are some of the early … Read more
