Thanks Siouxie ... Hubby thought it was down there somewhere .. but wasn't sure ...

I do wish you were able to come ... Hey ... we'll happily give you a ride there and back if you change your mind..

And don't forget ... we still have to do coffee

Thank you.. if I get the opportunity to come after all I will definitely let you know (and thank you very much for the offer of a ride!).

Yes, definitely we should meet for coffee in the near future!

Wow...between that relic of the 70's, the Old Spaghetti Factory and the Bier Markt.

We relics of the 70s refer to the Bier Markt as Brandy's. I believe the backgammon tables are in storage, pending a swing in fashion.

So Novo, are you bringing your son along?

Scotland Yard is described as 'music, moving, and mixing ' in this website.

The Bier Markt is where Rob Ford went on one of his many benders.

Certainly backgammon doesn't seem like the kind of the thing that Rob Ford would spend time doing.

OMG, that brings back memories. "We relics of the 70s" ! I haven't played backgammon in years. Did you ever frequent The Pickwick, the men only joint at the King Eddy on King E. before they revamped it ? There were lots of games there too. Hard to realize that was 45 years ago !
