In 1963 Bob Dylan was free wheelin’ with his iconic second album. Strollin’ down the highway on Jones Street in the West Village with his girl from the North Country, hair blowin’ in the wind. The weather forecast was that a hard rain’s a-gonna fall, but they didn’t...
Some would say Niagara Falls are spectacular, magnificent, breathtaking. Niagara Brewing calls them impressive and awe inspiring. They also say, and I quote that this beer is “as impressive as the mighty Niagara itself”. I think a tasting is in order to fact check...
In 1955 Goldie Wilson was sweeping the floor at Lou’s Diner and telling George “one day I’m going to be someone important” to which Marty replies “You’re going to be Mayor of Hill Valley”. Goldie thinks that’s a good idea and sure enough, 30 years later it’s Back to...

The old man’s favourite author was Louis L’Amour. His favourite TV show was Gunsmoke. When it came to music he liked both kinds, country and western, although he preferred Western, Johnny Cash in particular. * So he may have appreciated this rootin’ tootin’ red headed...
