Night Out with Friends

We had a night out with friends on the night of the Women's Final of the US Open.  We passed by this sports bar on the Danforth at the time the game was going on and I caught the tail end of some of the cheering with this video.  Andreescsu is the first Canadian to win a major tournament title.  Toronto was very happy that night.

We ate at the Astoria Restaurant, it was one of the first restaurants on the Danforth and is still very popular for Greek food.  We ate delicious chicken and pork souvlaki.

On the way home, I saw this sign in a subway car.  It says 'Mary's family can't afford a computer.If she has three essays to write, and the library closes in one hour, how much higher will the crime rate be in 2050?

Tragedy on the Danforth

There was a terrible tragedy in Toronto Sunday night on the Danforth where we ate dinner with friends just the week before. A gunman opened fire on the street leaving 2 dead (a 10 year old and an 18 year old) and 13 injured. They are saying he had mental illness.  The city is in shock once again.  It was just this past April when we had the van tragedy.

We had a Greek dinner on the Danforth a few weeks ago with some close friends. The weather was beautiful. The Pantheon restaurant was very loud and busy, our chicken souvlaki was good. They had a lot of fast moving senior aged waiters and the service was excellent. Our waiter had worked for this place for 20 years and 8 years prior to that when the restaurant had a different name. Before that, he had worked at another restaurant for 5 years. So he had been a waiter all his life.
