Sudbury in Spring

I snapped this photo as we drove through an intersection. I’m assuming it was either Pearl Street or Pine Street as this photo is of one of two large green water towers that are scheduled to be torn down as they are in need of costly maintenance. Though I am a strong supporter of preserving heritage buildings, it seems as though it could cost $1M just to give them a sorely needed coat of paint. I took another photo of the other one, but I rather like it and it deserves its own post. I’m also working on integrating photo galleries into the site, so I’ll include them both there.

Sudbury is a community I’m only beginning to get to know. I’ve been there twice now, but this was the first extended visit. The first was on the way to Joe’s family camp on Manitoulin Island and we only stayed for a night and a chance to eat at Deluxe Hamburgers.

Best. Chicken. Sandwich. Ever.

Food distracts me. And I’m easily distracted today as though I thoroughly enjoyed the 10 hours of road trip (5 hours each way), I’m exhausted.

This trip was amazing for many reasons. We shared glorious meals (roast leg of lamb, turkey with all the fixings including this) with Joe’s family, went on drives to see family homes, and listen to Hawksley Workman‘s new album Meat (download podcast with some previews here! Recommend: (Happiest Day is A) Tokyo Bicycle) on the trip home. I visited Records on Wheels to get the album as I’d forgotten to bring any of my CDs. I didn’t stay very long as it was hot and I was over dressed. But oh the money I could spend!

I think next time I’d like to go to Science North, but only if it’s too cold for the beach.
