Oh, there would be coffee. This is Ontario, land of Tim Hortons, where Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts fear to tread.

Thanks to all for the kind remarks. The IOS that McMurdo was wearing that day is indeed a beautiful sight.
Oh Grant hope you don't mind but I was wearing your sporran......
We shall have to choose another landmark in Toronto for next week...
Cheers
Robert

Robert are at Ryerson every week then, we could go somewhere closer to the school perhaps a photo shoot at the Flat Iron building.

I have next week, skip a week then one after that. Then I am complete.

For some reason, when I first saw the title of this thread, I read it as "Coffeemaker with a kilt". I thought [i]What the ****! Why would someone put a kilt on their coffeemaker?"

I must be losing it...

I was going to correct you as the Flatiron Building is in NYC. The building of which you speak of is the Gooderham Building.

Upon further research Flatiron is the also the style of the building with Toronto's being the first of 9 I've found so far.

They are:
Gooderham Building (Toronto), 1892
English-American Building (Atlanta) , 1897
Fuller Building (New York) , 1902
Sentinal Building (San Francisco), 1907
(?) Flatiron Building (Fort Worth), 1907
Unknown Flatiron building (landmark #155) (San Francisco), 1913
(?) Flatiron Building (Columbus, Ohio) (1914)
Ringlers Annex and Espresso Bar (Portland, Oregon), 1916
Flatiron Hotel (Omaha, NE), 1912

So you have my appologies. for what it's worth that is my favourite builing in Toronto's skyline.

I'm game for that one! I even think there's a Timmy's close by. Not sure if Glen would be available next week because of his shift work. My train boards at 5:20 and that's a 15 minute walk from Union Station so we do have a bit of lateral movement.
There is a term for this...similar to a happening where you post something on the net the night before to see who will show up the following day at a particular spot...it escapes me.
Grant do you know the GPS co-ordinates for this building?

It's OK we're all lost...but Grant sometimes thinks he knows where he is...not that helps any unless there is a chicken nearby....
