This book was recommended to me by Jeff at <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=larry+edmunds&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8">Larry Edmunds Bookstore</a> in Los Angeles. This is the premier bookstore for hard-to-find books on the movie industry.<br />
<br />
I thought I was reading a book that chronicled the history and musicians who lived Laurel Canyon. However, as I started reading, I discovered the book was really about the birth of the commercial music industry. I was more surprised that it started not 45 minutes from where I live!<br />
<br />
The year was 1962 and a record distributor salesman named Paul Rothchild walked into Club 47 on Mount Auburn Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Club 47 started the careers of such famous musicians as Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, and Joni Mitchell. Even Bob Dylan played unofficially between sets. Rothchild ended up producing and recording the Charles River Valley Boys, one of the club's acts. After selling all 1000 copies of the record, Rothchild began recording and producing more of the clubs acts. Around this time, folk music was starting to go electric, much to the horror of the purists. By 1965, acts were now being paid for playing at the club, an unheard notion in the folk community. Because of this, the club could no afford to have patrons just sitting around, not generating revenue to pay for the musical acts. The time honored activity of spending hours just sitting in a club, talking to your friends, and listening to some music was now over.<br />
<br />
It was an unlikely lawyer from Missouri, Ray Riepen, who realized Boston was just the city to start experimenting with rock-and-roll on the radio. He researched failing radio stations and set his sights on WBCN. The station was desperate for money, they sold airtime to pay the bills. He used the purchased time to play rock music from 10pm to 5am and thus was the beginning of the new WBCN, the station I listened to years unaware of its provenance. The new format was a smash and within a few months, all of the music spun was rock-and-roll. The station also reported on non-mainstream news stories and was legendary in introducing The Clash, The Police, The Cars, 'Til Tuesday, The Ramones, and U2 to the world.<br />
<br />
The Los Angeles rock-and-roll scene was still in its infancy in 1964. Within 2 years rock-and-roll would explode and cement Los Angeles as the epicenter of not only the music industry, but the movie industry as well. There was a wave of new bands who were starting to become popular, The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Sonny & Cher, and The Doors. Paul Rothchild saw the parallels between what happened in Boston and what was about to happen in Los Angeles. Record labels in New York began paying attention and started opening up new offices to capitalize on the new action.<br />
<br />
This book delves into the early history of the business and its evolution. The requisite shady characters and unscrupulous agents looking to make a quick buck off unsuspecting bands make several appearances. The shift from the East to West coast in well documented as the business started to look for more and relevant talent. One could submit without the record companies, most bands would have suffered in local obscurity as opposed to basking in international fame.<br />

"Get me Greg Bautzer!" <br />
<br />
Gregson Edward Bautzer was born on April 3, 1911 in San Pedro, California. In 1918, he applied was accepted to USC and never looked back. He was tall and athletic, in addition he excelled in debate, which would later assist him in his career as a lawyer.<br />
<br />
Over the years he would represent the Hollywood elite in the courtroom. Even a future United States President and the richest man in the world at the time sought his advice. In 1950, he handled the biggest divorce of his career, Nancy and Frank Sinatra's.<br />
<br />
He had a flair for charming men and more importantly, women. He was the Leonardo Decaprio of his day when it came to dating beautiful and famous women. He would marry four times and divorce three.<br />
<br />
There were two pivotal events that set his new life into motion. In 1936, he somehow raised $5,000 ($93,000+ in 2020) and purchased, "the best wardrobe in town". Also in 1936 he rented an office in the Equitable Building on the corner of Hollywood and Vine. This was the crossroads of the young movie industry at the time. Just up Vine was the location of the Brown Derby, a popular eatery for the industry. Greg would make it a point to showcase his $5,000 wardrobe at the Derby and never forgot to generously tip the maĆtre d'. This resulted in seating at the best table which in turn created new and important business relationships.<br />
<br />
Bautzer and Wilkerson crossed paths in 1938, when Bautzer and Lana Turner were engaged and their relationship was cemented as both men were obsessed with gambling.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, underneath the movie star good looks, the highly successful lawyer, and the perfect clothes lie an alcoholic. He would inherited his father's predisposition for alcoholism and everyone around him suffered. The high rigors and stress of his busy and demanding law practice accelerated his consumption and he would pass away on October 26, 1987 from a heart attack.<br />

"Luck always found Mr. Wilkerson at the last minute."<br />
<br />
William "Billy" Wilkerson was born on September 29, 1890 in Nashville, TN. He grew up with a doting mother and a physically abusive father. Instead of alcohol, Wilkerson's father was mired in the compulsion of gambling. One story reveals, how William Sr. won the rights to bottle Coca-Cola in 13 states. Unable to see the future of the soft drink, he swapped the rights for a movie theater. Had he held onto this winning lottery ticket it would have been worth today, conservatively, hundreds of millions of dollars. Coca-Cola would play a huge part in William Jr's. life years later as he drank twenty bottles a day!<br />
<br />
His clout in the movies started the day The Hollywood Reporter went to print in 1930. Unfazed by autocratic studio bosses, he would print unbiased, truthful reviews of movies. He would use the power of print to his advantage when he needed something. As the paper became more and more successful, the powerful Wilkerson became. He was notorious for screaming at his employees and his short, explosive temper. The success of the trade paper segued into creating some of the most popular restaurants and clubs in Hollywood; The Vendome, Trocadero, Ciro's, and the Sunset House.<br />
<br />
He would follow in his father's footsteps in massive gambling losses; $150,000 minimum for years and in the end he lost over $10 million in 2020 money. He even resorting to funneling company revenue to cover his losses. Finally, a friend suggested building a casino to attempt to recoup some of his losses. This led to his involvement in the construction of the ill-fated casino, The Flamingo.<br />
<br />
His addiction to gambling, his long work hours, and his commitment to his restaurants and clubs, culminated in five divorces.<br />
<br />
In the end, his 3+ a day cigarette habit and his 20 bottle a day consumption of Coca-Cola compounded by intestinal problems caused his death on September 2, 1962.<br />
<br />
<br />
There were many famous people in the very early days of Hollywood. However, the names of Bautzer and Wilkerson do not resonate like Cagney or Goldwyn. Both men were involved in the fringes of the movie industry, but did not operate entirely in the movie industry. This what makes their biographies so compelling.<br />
<br />
Both these biographies are worth the time and purchase price as they are mere glimpse into how old Hollywood was run, with its womanizing, obtaining illegal liquor from the Mob, blackmail, raids on backroom gambling, and payoffs to the police. <br />

<br />Fast Eddiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06523755222074304394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450652663253228966.post-14534559895073609502020-07-12T09:30:00.005-04:002021-01-09T09:58:16.052-05:00Movie Review: The Doors (1991)Let's just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That's all it was; just curiosity.<br />
<br />
- James Douglas Morrison<br />
<br />
<br />
The Doors were a band from Los Angeles, California who were formed in 1965 and lasted until 1971. It was singers Jim Morrison's early death at the age of 27 in 1971 that finished the band. Their dark music and mysterious lyrics was not the usual fare of the early days of the genre.<br />
<br />
The Doors still remain a 55 year old underground rock band. Go into a bookstore to the music section and see what they have in stock for The Doors. There are usually only one or two, at the most, books on the shelves about them. Now look for for books on Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, or The Rolling Stones and you will find 50. Thankfully, more options can be found online.<br />
<br />
Growing up, I had heard of The Doors, Jim Morrison, and Light My Fire, their only #1 hit. However, I had not <i>listened </i>to The Doors. This changed in 1991. I was in a record store (remember those?) and emanating from the speakers was an intense and passionate opera. I went to one of the associates and asked him what opera was playing. It said it wasn't an opera, it was, "Carmina Burana", from the The Doors motion picture soundtrack. The movies was being played at the college I was attending and intrigued by the song I heard, so I went to see it.<br />
<br />
I still remember nearly 30 years later how I felt leaving the movie, how blown away I was; Jim was so free, uninhibited, and living his life to the fullest. He was the literal embodiment of the '60s; sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll! He exceeded in all three categories, unfaithful to his girlfriend proven by the multiple paternity suits pending before he died, a drug/alcohol intake and tolerance of biblical proportions, and music that still sells out venues 50 years later. His influence as a frontman lives on in Micheal Hutchence (RIP), Scott Weiland (RIP), Iggy Pop, Ian Asbury, Steven Tyler, Eddie Vedder, and others. Jim even influenced Elvis Presley to wear a black leather suit for his 1968 comeback tour.<br />
<br />
This is the only movie about The Doors, released in 1991, twenty years after Jim's death. Directed by Oliver Stone, with his unique way of directing and with his own vision of the facts, faced a critical Ray Manzerek. I actually met Oliver Stone and asked him if he had tried to appease Ray. (answer) Robby and John were ok with it as they both have small cameos; Robby can be seen making his way backstage after the, "Oedipus Rex", concert and John plays the sound engineer during the American Prayer sessions. Paul Rothchild, the legendary record producer and Bill Graham, the legendary concert promoter of the era, also had short cameos. Stone makes an appearance of an UCLA film professor during the screening of Jim's student film. The most interesting cameo is Patricia Kennealy.<br />
She was one of Jim's actual girlfriends he kept on the side. She and Jim were, "married", in a Celtic ceremony in 1970. In the movie she is depicted as the priestess who marries Jim and Kathleen Quinlan, who stars as Patricia!<br />
<br />
<br />
Scrolling through IMDB, I was impressed at the depth of then unknown extras in the movie who went on to more recognizable roles:<br />
<br />
Michael Wincott - starred in The Crow, Aliens 3, Along Came A Spider, Miami Vice (tv)<br />
Micheal Madsen - several Quinten Tarantino movies<br />

Wes Studi - starred in Speed, Last of the Mohicans, Heat, Dances with Wolves, and Mystery Men<br />
Josie Bissett - best known for starring in Melrose Place<br />
Eric Burdon - lead singer of the 1960s group, The Animals<br />
Debi Mazar - starred in Good Fellas, Malcolm X, LA Law, Empire Records, and Batman Forever<br />
Lisa Edelstein - best known for starring in House as Cuddy<br />
Christopher Lawford - son of Rat Packer, Peter Lawford<br />
Titus Welliver - starred in The Town, Bosch, RED, Gone Baby Gone, Deadwood, and Prison Break<br />
Danny Sullivan - winner of the 1985 Indianapolis 500<br />
Eagle Eye Cherry - had a one-hit wonder with, "Save Tonight"<br />
Costas Mandylor - starred in Picket Fences, Nash Bridges, Gangland, and 7th Heaven<br />
Kathleen Quinlan - starred in A Civil Action, Apollo 13, American Graffiti, The Waltons...<br />
Paul Williams - Oscar and Emmy winning songwriter<br />
Crispin Glover - best known for portraying George McFly<br />
Jennifer Tilly - Bound, Liar Liar, the Chucky franchise, Family Guy...<br />
Jack McGee - The Fighter, Basic Instinct, MoneyBall, Rescue Me...<br />
Mimi Rogers - starred in Austin Powers, Lost in Space, X-Files, Two and a Half Men...<br />
<br />
The movie works for someone who has a casual interest of The Doors. However, since the the enemy of all biopics is time, one would have to dig much deeper to fully understand the complexity of the band and especially of its singer. Life.Death.Legend by Stephen Davis remains my favorite biography so far. 90% of the locations visited in my Los Angeles and Toronto for my Doors Tour have arrived from this book.<br />
<br />
As with all his movies Stone takes his vision to the screen. He is allowed by the tenet of artistic license to take certain liberties. Look at his other highly controversial movie, JFK. The following are events portrayed in the movie that do not align with what actually happened:<br />
<br />
When did Jim and Pam meet? It was in the spring of 1966, not in 1965 as noted in the movie. In the movie Jim spies Pam walking along the Venice Boardwalk. He follows her to a house where he waits until nighttime, climbs a tree, recites a few lines of poetry, and then kisses her. In reality, he saw her at a party at UCLA, but was unable to get her phone number. She then happen to see the band twice and was noticed by John. He ended up chatting with Pam and her friend when Jim came over and sat down...<br />
<br />
The movie opens with Jim walking on the boardwalk in Venice when he lived there wearing shoes. He was known to go barefoot during this period.<br />
<br />
It was depicted Jim meeting Pam before he runs into Ray on the beach. The Doors were already performing as a band with Ray, then Jim met Pam at the Whiskey.<br />
<br />
Pam could have not been on the rooftop with Jim as he was living with Ray and Dorothy before he met her.<br />
<br />
The other members of the band were not interested in any way tripping out in the desert while high on Peyote.<br />
<br />
There is no mention of Jim locking Pam in a closet and setting it on fire.<br />
<br />
The woman in the bathroom with Jim in New Haven was in 1967, not 1968, and she was not Patricia Kennealy.<br />
<br />
In the movie, after the disappointing class review of his student film, he quits on the spot. Really, it was later, he was considering quitting, but stayed in the film program and graduated.<br />
<br />
While performing Light My Fire on Ed Sullivan, he did not emphasize the word, higher. In the movie, Jim is wearing a black shirt, but he really wore a white ruffled shirt with a black leather jacket.<br />
<br />
The band met with Jac Holtzman on August 15 and the Oedipus concert occurred on August 21, 1966. Since these two important events happened only 6 days apart, I am guessing Stone combined them to save time and money.<br />
<br />
In the movie, when the band is jamming Robby says he came up with a song, Light My Fire. This event occurred at Robbie's parents house, not at the beach.<br />
<br />
The accident involving the Native Americans in Albuquerque, NM, occurred in 1946, not 1949, as shown. The family was living in Los Altos, CA, more than 1700 km (1047 miles) to the north by then. Jim's father stopped at a gas station to call the police, however, the movie has police already on scene.<br />
<br />
The character of Dog is based on Babe Hill.<br />
<br />
After Rays and Dorothy's wedding on December 21, 1967, they went to a Mexican restaurant near downtown. In the movie, the wedding happened on Thanksgiving and the reception was held at Pam's house. <br />
<br />
The concert where Jim swings the mic over his head and ends up hitting a man in the head is shown as happening in Miami in 1969 where the venue looks like a concert hall with balconies. Stone had to include this as it was the infamous Dinner Key concert which was actually held in an old airplane hanger. This was the concert that ended The Doors career as Jim was cited for swearing and exposing his genitalia. After this concert, promoters cancelled most of all of their future performances and Jim had to stand trial. The part with the mic occurred in San Francisco in June of 1967 at the Fillmore. Jim's target was aforementioned Bill Graham.<br />
<br />
Now for the most controversial one; the death of Jim Morrison. Even as I write this on the anniversary of his death, July 3, 49 years ago, the truth is still an uncertainty. Rumors of Jim dying in the bathroom of the Rock and Roll Circus only add to the mystique. Compounding the mystery a disk jockey, after speaking to a couple of drug dealers at the club, La Bulle, announces the death of Jim Morrison at 8am. Who else could have known Jim was dead, besides Jean and Pam, that early in the morning? By 8am, Jim was discovered dead in his apartment roughly an hour earlier. How could these two men have known? One could argue, even if the story is true, why would anyone utter a single word about it? Let the world believe he died in the bathtub and be done with it. Did the people at the club really want the French authorities asking questions about the illegal activities that occurred there every night? <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the only person with Jim in the apartment that night was Pam, an unreliable heroin junkie. One of the versions of what she remembers of that night and early morning are as follows: after both of them indulge in heroin, she goes to bed. Around 4am, Jim was having an intense fit of coughing. Pam suggested he take a bath. Around 5am, she hears Jim vomiting, she goes to the kitchen and grabs a pan so Jim can throw up in it. She returns to bed and around 6am, she awakens and notices Jim is not in bed. She goes to the bathroom and tries to open the door, but it is locked from the inside (who locked the door?). She calls his name with no response. Now frantic, she contacts one of her lovers and heroin supplier, Count Jean de Breteuil. He arrives at the apartment within 30 minutes and breaks into the bathroom. They find Jim dead in the tub with blood drying under his nose and mouth in dark pink water. There are two large, purple bruises on his chest. Pam immediately flips out, gets in the tub, and slaps him in a futile attempt to revive him.<br />
<br />
The movie has a more sanitized and shorter version. Did Stone have strict guidelines by the Morrison and Courson estates on how he would present the death? Did Stone not want to dwell on the mystery of his death? The movie has Pam getting up from bed, walking down the hall, entering the bathroom to find Jim dead in the tub. She calmly talks to him as if he was still alive. A very quick shot of Jim in the tub shows no blood on his face or bruises on his chest in crystal clear water.<br />
<br />

"The best laid plans..."<br />
<br />
We were planning on traveling to Austin, Texas to attend SXSW. We went last year and had a great time. My wife again received a stipend to write about the movies shown at the festival. This was just when the Coronavirus was starting to rear its ugly head. Large gatherings of people were beginning to get cancelled. We were hoping the date of SXSW would be early enough so it would not be cancelled. Unfortunately the festival was cancelled by the City of Austin, not the organizers. As much as we were disappointed, we realized this was the smart course of action. Testing was not even being talked about at this stage and the 100,000 attendees were coming in from around the world. Also, traveling in a hermetically sealed aluminum tube for 4 hours with recycled air would not have been the healthiest decision.<br />
<br />
We still had the approved time off and wondered what we should do. My wife suggested Manchester, Vermont. She and her mom were visiting Bennington, Vermont years ago. They decided to take a ride north on 7A to look for Todd Lincoln's summer home in Manchester, Vermont. Afterwards, they continued north into town for lunch. She was so enamored with Manchester, she remembered the town years later. Hmmm...the Green Mountains, a quaint New England town, long, open stretches of open road...I'll start packing!<br />
<br />
In the end it worked out perfectly. We went to bucolic Vermont, we had no schedule, we visited Bennington for an afternoon, and just chilled.<br />

The Doors percussionist,<a href="https://thedoors.com/the-band"> Ray Manzarek</a>, passed away in 2013.<br />
<br />
Surviving band members, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore, created a documentary with interviews about Ray with footage from a memorial concert from 2016.<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.thedoorsfilm.com/synopsis/">movie</a> was screened for one day only, February 12, which is Ray's birthday.<br />

My wife and I are on the same page when it concerns the giving of birthday presents. We would appreciate more an experience as opposed to a physical gift.<br />
<br />
I had heard other people talk about the beauty of The <a href="https://www.omnihotels.com/hotels/bretton-woods-mount-washington">Mount Washington Resort</a>. So I looked into it; completed in 1902, so it had the vintage vibe we both like, is situated deep in the woods of New Hampshire just northeast of the White Mountains, and the price was reasonable. Trifecta!<br />
<br />
I called the number and made the reservation. The gentleman asked me what the occasion the stay was for so I told him it was for my wife's birthday.<br />
<br />
After having lunch in Ashland, NH, I asked my wife, "Isn't a classic movie star buried around here?"<br />
She looked it up and discovered <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Rains">Claude Rains</a> is buried in Moultonborough, about 30 minutes away...in the direction of the resort. Off we go!<br />
<br />
We find Red Hill Cemetery and locate his headstone (his name is difficult to read, it being black on black).<br />
<br />

We have arrive and check-in, find our room, and open the door. Hmmm, this looks nothing the picture of the room I booked. My wife opens a door which we discover is the bathroom. We stand there with our bags trying to figure out what to do next. She looks in the bathroom and sees another door. I thought it was a closet, but she opens it and...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
...this is our room! I said, wait, don't unpack, this is obviously a mistake. A room this size rents out for $700 a night. I go downstairs to the Front Desk and speak to the woman who checked us in. I explain the size of the room and how much I was quoted. She looked at her monitor and said, "You are here for your wife's birthday, right?" Correct, I reply. She looks at me and says, "We upgraded you as a gift." Pick.up.jaw.from.floor. I thanked her several times and returned to the room. My wife asked me what happened. I told her to unpack as they upgraded us to this room for her birthday.<br />

A former colleague posted a photo of her hike to <a href="http://www.hikenewengland.com/Major000506.html">Mount Major</a> on her Instagram. I was so inspired by her I went the next day.<br />
<br />
There were a few tough spots that made it a challenge to continue upward. There is another trail leading to the summit which is not as difficult. I took the blue trail and she told me it was the orange trail that was a little easier.<br />

The Doors performed here, the former C.N.E. Coliseum, on either April 20 or May 12, 1968. The book, "Life.Death.Legend" (page 253), states, "The Doors played three county fair gigs in California in mid-April (Merced, Santa Rosa, and Riverside)...", then, "The first gig was at the Westbury Music Fair on Long Island on April 19, 1968." The Doors <a href="https://thedoors.com/live">website</a> has them listed as May 12. While the concert date websites <a href="http://setlist.fm/">setlist.fm</a> and <a href="http://mildequator.com/performancehistory/concertdates1968.html">mildequator.com</a> both have the day as April 20.

This museum is located about 60 km (38 miles) east of Toronto in Oshawa. Oshawa is where General Motors once had a factory. The admission price was only $12! This parade of cars is the same on my Instagram as these are the only cars I wrote descriptions for.<div><br />

Good Will Hunting was mostly shot in and takes place in Boston. What most people don't know is some of the scenes were shot in Toronto. I don't know why this was needed as they are minor interior and exterior shots.<br />

One of the more interesting spots in Toronto is Rush Lane, otherwise known as, Graffiti Alley. It was started by the city in 2012 as a way of reducing graffiti artists from tagging all over Toronto. It is located south of Queen, between Spadina and Portland.</div>

I have always been in awe of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti">graffiti</a>. The level of talent needed to create these intricate pieces fascinates me. </div>

Driving west on Route 90 in 2018 on our way to Toronto, we passed The International Boxing Hall of Fame. This year on the way to Toronto, we built in time to stop and tour the HOF.<br />
<br />
The hall was really just one big room. Although it is well curated, the amount of memorabilia on display is small.<br />
<br />
Boxing or a form of hand-to-hand combat in its simplest form is millennia older than all these other sports. The <a href="http://www.ibhof.com/pages/about/about.html">Boxing HOF website</a> states,"...the shrines to baseball, football, and basketball are located in the ancestral homes to those sports. But boxing has no such geographical origin" or timeline that can be at least traced. Since the other major sports could trace their geographical origins their HOF are much older than boxings. Here is a list of the years the other major sports established their HOF:<br />
<br />
Baseball 1939<br />
Hockey 1943<br />
Tennis 1954<br />
Basketball 1959<br />
Football 1963<br />
Boxing 1989<br />

Time to go watch some F1 racing!<br />
<br />
Both my wife and I prefer experiences over a gift. This experience was special because it combined my favorite things to do; drive long distances, travel to a new city, and watch live a Formula 1 race.<br />

After the race is over, people jumped the fence and walked the track. I would like to see this happen at Fenway Park after the Red Sox finish a game.<br />

Our last night in MontrƩal found us at a chain taqueria. Since we had eaten food from Greece and Portugal, we thought to throw in Mexico as well. The beef burrito and the shrimp fajitas were ok. Someone wanted me to hurry up and take the picture as she was very hungry (check out the hands!)<br />

I have never been to MontrƩal, even though I live only 5 hours and 500 km (307 miles) away. I would like to return without all the hoopla of race weekend. Since all the hotels were booked solid and ungodly expensive, we had to find accommodations outside of the city. My wife found a very inexpensive AirBnB 15 minutes outside of MontrƩal.<br />

<br />
The Circuit of the Americas (<a href="http://circuitoftheamericas.com/">COTA</a>) is one of only two Formula 1 racetracks in North America, with the other in Montreal, Canada (stay tuned!) and is located about 25 km (15 miles) southeast of Austin.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, there is not much too see. The grandstand where I took the videos and the gift shop were open. It would have been cool to see more of the inner workings the racetrack. At least I had made it to the track, watched Ferraris race down the front stretch, and went karting.<br />

I don't think these Ferraris were actually racing as their were no spectators in the stands. Anyway, it was a thrill to watch them blow by at 265 kph (165 mph).<br />

It is well documented Austin, Texas has a very strong food culture. However, until you experience it, it has no meaning. I don't know why I was so impressed by all the quality food offerings Austin had. I have the luxury of living near Boston which has many highly-rated restaurants serving cuisine from all around the world.<br />

In searching for dinner on our first night, my wife found a small Korean joint only 350 meters from our hotel. We walked there and were surprised the line was out the door. As we waited, we looked at the menu to decide what we wanted to eat. I ordered a bowl of Teriyaki chicken with rice, noodles, carrots, and an egg. She had a bowl of Shiitake Mushrooms, spinach, avocado, and rice. I let her steal my broccoli. Our dishes was tasty and the prices were very inexpensive.<br />

Another gem of a restaurant! I walked here for breakfast. There were many tempting choices, but I settled on the Cenote Scramble, eggs, pico de gallo, arugula, pesto, capers, and goat cheese. Again, several flavors going on at the same time combined with the fresh ingredients made a return trip necessary. </div>

I walked there and arrived just as they were opening up for lunch. I sit at the bar and order the Suadero Tacos. Problem, I am told. Yes? That item only on the dinner menu, not the lunch. </div>

The line for BBQ at Franklin's at 9:16 in the morning. There about 60 people in line ahead of me. I was a little concerned they would run out of meat before I was able to order. About 10 am, an employee was asking everyone in line how much meat they were planning to order. This was to see at what point in the line the meat wold be sold out. After a certain person, that was no point in waiting in line anymore.<br />
<br />
The two ways I could improve this experience the next time is first, arrive at least an hour earlier. I would spend less time waiting and I would eat sooner. Second, I would eat a very small breakfast to hold me over. I skipped breakfast to ensure an empty stomach for all the food I would be eating. However, I didn't eat until 1 pm and by that time my stomach started to consume itself out of self preservation.<br />

Fast forward nearly <i>four hours </i>later! I finally sit down with my Texas sized lunch. Ribs, brisket, and sausage as the main. Mashed potatoes and pickles as a side and a slice of Pecan Pie for dessert. Needless to say, this was my only meal of the day.<br />
<br />
Any food is difficult to describe as you must it experience it for yourself. The only way I can is think of your favorite food. Now think of it as barbecue.<br />

What is trip to any city without visiting a dive bar? One such bar is <a href="https://www.nickelcitybar.com/">Nickel City</a>. One of their signature drinks is the Mezcal Margarita which I ordered, then moved on to an Old Fashioned.<br />

When I told a friend I was going to Austin, they told me to avoid and stay away from 6th Street. Ok, thanks for the advise. The first place I went to check out was "Dirty" 6th Street. Originally named Pecan, 6th Street is lined with bars, lounges, eateries, and tattoo parlors. This is where everyone goes to party and get into trouble. Since SXSW was in town, it was packed with thousands of people from the festival every night.<br />

The Austin Central Library is a product of forward vision and fulfills the desire of its patrons to converge, learn, ponder, create, and interact.<br />
<br />
Perhaps, since I have not been in a modern library in a very long time, I am not up to speed on what it can offer. Just quickly looking around I saw, a public 3D printer, a display with hundreds of board games, a kiosk that dispensed laptops (!), an outdoor garden, a Virtual Reality set-up, and a life-sized chess board. I almost asked for a job application!<br />
<br />
I made it a point to visit this library because of its inclusion in Time Magazine's <a href="https://time.com/collection/worlds-greatest-places-2018/5359176/austin-central-library-texas/"> The World's Greatest Places of 2018</a>.<br />

My wife applied for a media pass to cover movies at SXSW. Her application was accepted so she booked the hotel and flight.<br />
<br />
In the process of planning the trip, she suggested we stopover in Atlanta. She has a online friend who lives there who she has never met. Her and her boyfriend were simply the best hosts and were cool to hang out with.<br />
<br />
Perfect! I have always wanted to visit Atlanta. Unfortunately, we were there for only two days and it was brutally cold!<br />
<br />
She picked us up from Hatfield International and got us settled into our room. We then ate lunch at <a href="https://grubkitchenandbar.com/">Grub Kitchen and Bar</a>. I appreciate this establishment posts the calories for all its food and drinks, but I don't appreciate all the calories in their tasty food. I went right past my daily 2000 calorie max in one meal!<br />

While in Atlanta one must experience Waffle House. Mutual friend Jessica joined us for breakfast and we also were able to see Jill, another mutual friend who lives in the Atlanta area. She was kind enough to invite us to to her home. I got to meet her daughter and their adorable dog, Sugar. Jill also has an amazing library on the subject of cinema. I am guessing her collection runs 600 books. </div>

I was walking towards the MLK when I nearly tripped on something on the sidewalk. After I righted myself, I happen to look up and saw this garage. It looked so familiar! I then remembered it was featured on Chasing Classic Cars (season 5, episode 20) and there was a yellow Ferrari involved. </div>

While I did not have a lot of time in Atlanta, the one place I had to visit was the tomb of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The museum was well organized and filled with interesting exhibits.

<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Only an hour south of Toronto, just over the border with the United States, is <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Niagara-Falls-waterfall-North-America">Niagara Falls</a>. I recommend to anyone who is driving to stop and see the Falls on your way to Toronto. It is a sight to behold. Unfortunately and predictably, the Falls have become a massive tourist trap. Even I bought a t-shirt to commemorate my visit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">This is something everyone should experience. Not just because Jim and Pam got married at Niagara Falls, but to witness the sheer amount of water crashing over the falls is simply awesome (see video at the end of the post). </span></div>

My wife is half Portuguese and she was dertermined to find authentic Portuguese food on our trip. She found a restaurant called <a href="https://www.nandos.com/">Nando's</a>. I looked at their Wikipedia page and the have more than 1000 locations in 35 countries (so much for non-chain, we are 0-2 so far!)<br />
<br />
Their specialty is PERi-PERi chicken along with other Portuguese delicacies. We started with sangria, ordered the chicken, and finished with a traditional custard.<br />

Chilean food in Toronto? Si, por favor! <a href="http://www.jumboempanadas.ca/">Jumbo Empanadas</a> is located in <a href="http://www.kensington-market.ca/">Kensington Market</a>, which can be best described as a crossroad of the world.

I had to go to three Greek eateries in Greek Town to find just one that serves Avgolemono Soup. Still scratching my head over that one. Before I was seated at this restaurant, I asked the host if they served Avgolemono Soup. He stopped, looked at me, and said, "yes, of course we do." Probably though I was some moron, asking such a stupid question.<br />

This restaurant, <a href="https://www.marche-movenpick.ca/en/our-locations/brookfield-place-street-level">Marche Movenpick</a>, is an European marketplace. They have different food stations with any type of food you want. All fresh ingredients, made to order, right in front of you. It was so overwhelming with all the choices I had, I wandered around for a good 10 minutes trying to decide what I wanted to eat (everything!). I finally choose stir-fry with rice and drank a beer. If I worked in the vicinity, I would eat here everyday, trying to go through all the stations.<br />
