A POSTCARD FROM RICHMOND HILL ONTARIO CANADA

Every hometown has its local pieces of history and interest. I found these postcards by a local artist- A. Vermeulen done several years ago.

Top left-the Presbyterian Church on Yonge Street. Top right- the United Church on Yonge Street. Both built in the 1800s. And the Mill Pond- a popular spot for Canada Geese, ducks and a few people.
In the summer there are concerts in the park and the winter skating on the ice with a Winter Carnival in Feburary.
How does the drawing compare to a real photograph!

I've called Richmond Hill my home for most of my life. The little town north of Toronto! Actually its population now is equal to other cities in Canada. The bus, the Go train or the highway can take you south to Toronto or north to cottage country! It may not be the best place to live in the world, but it is not bad! Of course my very favourite building continues to be the Central Library. 

Especially in the Spring time. What do you have to say about your hometown? Home is where the heart is and in my case- my family!!

JUST A HAMBURGER JOINT

Adolph and I decided to go to a local hamburger joint for dinner. Banquet burger and fries with a diet coke! The Steer Inn has been in Richmond Hill for over 50 years and is still making burgers- good ones! They will be closing in the near future to make room for development on Yonge Street. It seems strange that many moons ago, I sat with Adolph as a teenager sharing a burger and drink with him. I would never have thought that 45 years forward I would be with the same person eating in the same place. Just a few memories from some good burgers over the years! Do you have a place that brings back memories for you?
