I love it, who wouldn't want to go inside and have a seat. Clever name as well.
ReplyDeleteBeen there many, many times. For 6 or 7 years running I'd go to The Shaw Festival for few days to take in as many plays as I could manage. Eventually it all became too expensive.
ReplyDeleteAs touristy as it is NOTL is still a delightful city to visit.
Thing do get more pricey in the Niagara district.
DeleteSounds like the Fox Theater in St. Louis. Plain on the outside and all glitz's and glam on the inside.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot and sounds like a fun place to go.
