Since my main squeeze is a chef further always loves to retention market-fresh food, I initially took him to the St. Lawrence doorstep which always has an antique sale on Sunday. The goodies sell is quite closed on Sunday. We checked extrinsic the wares from expired furniture to cameras to variant knick-knacks.





Our exploration continued westwards along Front road former historic 19th century houses also of ramble ended the famous triangular-shaped Flatiron dwelling which has a mural on its west facet.
