Haha) and it was once again a lovely experience. We had a voucher for 2 free tickets and 2 free popcorns and drinks. I purchased the tickets online and paid $10 extra for the premier seats. We saw the 9:45pm show and the theatre was pretty dead. The staff working the concessions were friendly and fast. The premier seats are next level. This is luxuryyyyy. We really enjoyed the electric reclining chairs and the side tables are so convenient for your popcorn! I don't wanna sit in a basic seat again lol. The whole thing was once again a pleasant experience. They really ain't got nothing on Cineplex. Oh, but Landmark could probably renovate their washrooms cuz they STILL have those faucets that you press and have to rush to finish washing your hands lol.

Same price you pay at other theatres, but the chairs are large, comfy, and recline as well. And the theatre itself is kept quite clean, which for me goes a long way. Since I like my shoes. And often times fine myself with one less shoe when walking out from the sticky floors where my shoe stays stuck to the floor and my foot continues moving.

Last Saturday, I dropped by the Malton sign to check it out. It was a bonus visit to see the Avro…read moreCanada Monument and the Malton Cenotaph next to it. I enjoy visiting museums. When there are aircraft, it makes me happy. The Avro Monument is a replica of a full-sized Avro aircraft next door to Paul Coffey Arena. It was so unexpected and such a delightful find. This all-weather aircraft was designed for the Canadian Military in Malton. Malton has a rich history in aircraft, which includes building the Avro Arrow back in the 1950's. It is perfectly fitting why a monument was established here. The replica aircraft is stunning to look at. Back in 1978, there was a CF-100 Mk 5 Canuck Aircraft here. It was restored in 2017, which is what you see here now. Both plaques from 1978 and 2017 are just under the aircraft on a concrete beam. I learned so much reading them. I enjoy being a tourist and learning about a cool part of history that was previously vague in my mind. You can park either at Paul Coffey Arena or Light Korean Presbyterian Church. I did the latter, as it's closer to get to this monument. It was a great find. Free and enlightening. I recommend dropping by to soak up some cool Canadian history. (356)

On September 28th the Town of Richmond Hill revealed this piece of outdoor street art in the city's…read moredowntown village. The statue stands 14 feet high and is made almost entirely of granite and bronze is a figure to promote Richmond Hill's culture. Fitting that it has been erected in front of its shining center piece the Richmond Hill Performing Arts Centre (designed in the likeness of the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto). The bronze sculpture is of two intertwined dancers on top of the granite base of ascending piano keys and is the vision, mission and passion for the last two years of Richmond Hill Councillor Nick Papa. Designed by artist and designer William Ho and sculptor John Porretta the estimated cost of the statue (with funds provided exclusively by generous local businesses - no taxpayers dollars were spent) is approximately just shy of $200,000. I'm a big fan of these sort of editions to the downtown Richmond Hill core, and I'm hoping this is the first of many to come to my hometown. Keepin' it local

When we arrived, we saw some games taking place over in the field area. I went over to ask a player what was going on and he let me know it was an annual rugby tournament in support of a local charity and for us to stay and watch. He was a great example of the kind, welcoming demeanor we typically experienced throughout our visit in Toronto. We stayed for a bit to watch, took a photo "with" the Toronto sign that's there and then headed to the next spot on our self guided tour. A good place to relax, people watch and have lunch in a public square.

I grew up thinking that this gate was called the Princess Gate. Since it's nearly International…read moreWomen's Day, perhaps as a young girl, I was willing this gate to mark great things by women. Princes' Gate is named after two princes: - Prince Edward - Prince George They were brothers who attended this gate's official opening on August 30, 1927. The gate was supposed to be called The Diamond Jubilee of Confederation Gates. I am so glad that they simplified this stuffy name to what it has been known as ever since. I worked at the Canadian National Exhibition (The Ex) for three summers when I was in high school (two consecutive summers) and an undergrad. I would take the 511 Bathurst streetcar to the loop that used to be where Enercare Centre currently resides. I'd end up walking through the gate with my pass to get to work. Within the last year, I have been attending more hockey games at Coca-Cola Coliseum. I see more Toronto Marlies games than Toronto Sceptres. They are both affordable and exciting games to attend. When the games are over, I tend to see the Princes' Gate as I head home. The statues are lovely pieces. Most folks drive by without stopping to admire them. Traffic sucked last Saturday. It was nice to take photos and admire this gate. The statues have gone through a number for restorations over the decades. They look great. It's still a fabulous gate. I'm glad that I can admire and appreciate it whenever I'm near Enercare Centre and Coca-Cola Coliseum. (82)

Just off of Lakeshore and Strachan, Torontos Princes' Gates stand like the unofficial gates to the…read morecity. With their angels positioned across the span of the gates giving watch, you'd think these were the gates to heaven not just an entry way to the exhibition grounds. The gates were originally named "The Diamond Jubilee of Confederation Gates," but when the directors learned that Edward, Prince of Wales, and his brother Prince George were going to be in Toronto that year, they changed the name. The Princes were both present at its official opening on Tuesday, August 30, 1927, and the Princes' Gates were born. So what's so great about the Princes' (commonly confused, even by me, as the 'Princess') gates? They're one of the few pieces of historic architecture (statues) in Toronto that show us a far more renaissance period of time for the city. The only other major area where statues and landmarks of this magnitude can be seen are those that are near Queens Park, and along University Ave to name a few. For the person less excited by the historical significance of the gates, you'll be happy to know that they are the main entrance to the annual CNE and it's also where many Indy Cart race cars Zip through during the annual Honda (formerly Molson) Indy. Just a little T-dot culture for you all.

I think artists are priced out of the city now, and it's not easy to put time into such one-night-only passion projects when you are struggling to even stay afloat. What a pity. With sadness, we wandered around the square and the surrounding buildings. Glad we were able to see some things, but also, not sure if this is an event worth looking for anymore... There were volunteers around each display, but for the interactive ones, there was a marked lack of guidance. The installation where a "city" was being built and rebuilt was quite interesting.
