Boxcar Sound Recording Studio 468 Cumberland Avenue Since we’re on tour, and sometimes fancy ourselves to be rock stars, it seems only fitting that we should visit a recording studio. Avishka and I were thrilled to get the opportunity to drop into Boxcar Sound Recording Studio to get a tour by co-owner and producer Matt … Read more
Fieldcote Memorial Park & Museum 64 Sulphur Springs Road Hello everyone! Hope you have been able to keep up with our adventures in Hamilton! Today the girls and I set off for tea at Fieldcote Memorial Park and Museum, located just off of Sulphur Springs Road. Our stay at Fieldcote was certainly filled with delight … Read more
Locke Street The marathon of tour stops continues! This was the third tour day in a row for Avishka and Kristin. We love dedicating a day to a specific street or area, exploring it on foot and popping in and out of shops. This day was all about Locke Street and we were excited to … Read more

Westdale Theatre 1014 King St. West Located in the heart of Westdale Village, the Westdale Theatre (for the sake of using British slang here, I shall be referring to the theatre as the cinema, except when I am talking about the actual name of the theatre. Let’s see how I do, shall we?) offers … Read more
Jay Perry Photography It’s not every day you get to sport a panda mask, an eye patch, a mustache, some funky glasses, and Bill Clinton and Hulk Hogan masks. Avishka and I were lucky enough to be a part of Hamilton-based photographer and founder of MONSTERS vs ME Jay Perry’s latest project. We love everything … Read more
