On the bridge, the flag, and a cyclist going the wrong way!
Our destination, but we passed it to go to lunch. They have a large pond with goldfish for sale.
The bridal wreath spirea was at its peak.
This is where we ate last time.
In we went. Up the elevator. It looks like one of those fake holiday photos! I could have zoomed in!
We'll just have lunch at the newly renovated Moose McGuire. It's an amazing view. We were there awhile ago. The restaurant was closed due to a gas issue last time, it didn't open until 5 p.m that visit.
Things were good on Wednesday. We snagged a prime corner spot, right in the second floor corner (centre of photo below). The glass means you can see everything. It is open to the air just above eye level. Brilliant day!
This is the building with condos above, and the restaurant and store, below.
The condos can be rented for ~$250 a night. If you want to buy one (2 bedrooms, 3 baths), $1.3 MILLION!
The tall ships were being freshly painted for summer.
This was the spot to stop.
I love the matching caps.
We've taken the girls to the Aquatarium, I guess this is where the school kids went, too. June is typically field trip season!
The harbour is great for walkabouts!
The store is well above our price point, but lovely to look at. The guy talking about his cancer was a bit gruesome.
Back to the ships.
From here, we walked the board walk.
We went into the train tunnel. The music seems incongruous, as well as the LEDs, but I'm an old fart!
The city notably features the Brockville Tunnel, Canada's first railway tunnel, finished in December 1860, and closed in 1970.[5] It was acquired by the City of Brockville in 1982, and the tunnel reopened in August 2017 as an LED illuminated pedestrian tunnel with music.
The trains ran between Brockville and Ottawa, giving access to the waterfront by 1860. It ran from Brockville to Sand Point, near Arnprior, with a branch line from Smiths Falls to Perth. It was amalgamated with the CCR in 1878, and absorbed into the CPR in 1881.
Lake Ontario still has high water.
It's an old town, settled in 1785, incorporated in 1832. Formerly known as Elizabethtown, it's a lovely town
Ritchies had hibiscus. I've lost all 12 of mine over the years. Several last year. We were here for fish, though.
A drive-by shooting through the window. This house interested me. A HUGE wrap around deck.
I saw someone land a fish!
