My laundrymat

It's not the typical Urban sketch fare. It's not glamourous. It's not famous. It's my laundrymat in the west end of the city. What they do offer is a never ending stream of 80's hits over the sound system... score!

The Bloor Gladstone Library

I love going to the Bloor Gladstone library to sketch people. If you're into people sketching and having them move minimally, this is your place! What wasn't captured in this drawing was the man sitting in the next seat to me humming and swaying to himself. Gotta love the characters you can find in this library!

Noodles at Pho Tien Thanh

 
I was craving some pho yesterday and I was in the neighbourhood of Pho Tien Thanh. Some consider the Golden Turtle, which is just on the next block to be the better pho house, but I usually go to this one because it has greater ambiance, as you could see. Who wouldn't want a sleeping employee in the front of house?! (Actually, I think he was the owner.)

By the way, order the no. 24. It's  pho with rare and well done beef with tendon and tripe. Delicious, but they did skimp on the tendon and tripe. Satisfied and feeling jipped all at the same time.
