Better Late Than Never

This shot was taken just before St. Paddy's Day, but as this site was recently commandeered by mad cyclists, I was otherwise engaged. So.....

Seems everybody is Irish on St. Paddy's Day. Even "Betty's". Temporarily re-christened as "O'Betty's".

They used to the called "The Betty Ford Clinic". Til The Betty Ford Clinic sued them.

So now it's just Betty's. Except on March 17th.

And since it was ten to one, just down the street was McVeigh's New Windsor Tavern.

Where the only thing that could possibly be considered "New" is.......well, maybe the Golf Shop on the third floor.

Certainly none of the New Windsor Tavern patrons.

And while on the pub tour, we stopped for a dram at the actual The Mill Street Brewery brewery.

Decisions, decisions.....

And no pub crawl would be complete without a stop at Toronto's oldest pub, The Wheat Sheaf Tavern.

Under renovation? Well, I guess they're entitled, at least every 160 years.

I still wouldn't touch anything in that bathroom.

Not as bad as Grossman's, but close.....

Nothing's as bad as Grossman's bathrooms! Of course, they didn't always use the bathroom...

Hmmm...darn technology - that last comment was mine.
