Carl had to go back to work, poor lamb, so Alice took us on an adventure to downtown TO!! First of all, the subway....all one long car now, not separate cars!!
Haven't ridden a Toronto subway for a gazzillion years either......kinda fun!!!
Alice took us to Maple Leaf Gardens, once the famous hockey rink, and now - a Loblaws grocery store!!!! Huge place, with areas to buy cooked food for lunch, too, which we did.......
Lots of specialty areas, and a Joe Fresh clothing store on the top floor.......
Check out the size of this place......wow!!!!
This is the WALL OF CHEESE........holy crap, that is a lot of cheese..........
Huge fish, meat and fresh produce sections.......
and a 2 story bakery - all the baking is done in a glassed in area on the second floor - air conditioned, of course......we got some great caraway rye bread before we left.
Pretty unassuming, but this is the infamous Centre Ice....where all the action was for so many years. We felt there should at least be a puck imbedded in the floor or something.........
Back to fleeces........and enjoying the big city!!!
The only dogs we saw downtown......no need for animal rescue in this store..........
When they sold the building, they left one wall of stone and block to show the orignal stairs, etc - and mounted a big display of the old seats.....in the blue maple leaf design of the Toronto Maple Leafs......our old home team which has gone to hell since we left 40 years ago.
