Well, we actually absentee voted for real US candidates running in local, state, and national elections, but we (or at least me) are trying very hard not to think of that hot mess right now, so on with today’s events.
Grimsby, Ontario, is a town of about 29,000 on Lake Ontario at the eastern end of the Hamilton Census Metropolitan Area. It is named after a fishing town in England, or so says Wikipedia. We went to check out a couple of parks as well as their downtown area.
It was a beautiful day, warm and windy. High of 70+ F, although not quite that warm while we were out. Jack scored a dog biscuit from a female store owner in Grimsby. He has a way about him. Bob and I were left treatless.
We began our walkabout in Covenant Park, just off of Main Street. It has a great play area, pool, gazebo, and colorful picnic tables. To continue the local creek numbering system, the park lies along Forty Mile Creek. A helpful sign discussed the park’s history and that it is currently used for local festivals.
Not sure why I cute Jack off.
He is definitely at the end of the leash Bob is holding.
restaurants, and barbers.
Italian food specialty store.
and what appears to be like a Lego store on the bottom.
as it is a store full of Dutch treats
— Stroopwaffles and Speculos anyone?
After visiting the downtown, we drove to Murray Street Park along Lake Ontario. It was small but stunning.

One reply on “We Vote for Grimsby (11/5/24)”
Yep named after Grimsby in the UK lots of areas called after Uk towns and areas London Ontario which has a river Thames running through it and a Stratford Avon along its banks . However back to Grimsby the one at your end is far more pretty than the on at this end 😂😂👍
