Roxy Horror

It's not quite the Paradise.....

...but the Roxy Theatre, which in its heyday hosted midnight showings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Song Remains The Same and dozens of others, recently had its original marquee exposed after the current, deperate-to-unload-the-site's owner's sign was peeled away (see below, courtesy of boldts.net)

Obama In Toronto

For the past few weeks, the bus I take in the morning has passed by a new cafe up on the Danforth, just east of Greenwood. I figured that today, I'd commemorate the U.S. president's visit to our nation's capital with my own visit to the Obama Cafe.

Now, there's absolutely nothing in this place that isn't covered in Obama's mug. Even the mugs!



Of course, the only way to sweeten your beverage is to either pick something artificial or some sweet brown sugar, sugar.




No, there wasn't a Joe Biden-themed beverage, despite the signage.


Unfortunately, I was hoping for a scoop, but the CBC beat me to it. Bastards.

So, you can keep your BeaverTails, Ottawa, the coffee here's just fine.
