Let's Go to the Ex....
2008.08.30
The Princes' Gates - often mistaken for "The Princess Gates" - stand as a symbol of the event and Exhibition Grounds, looming over Lakeshort Boulevard on the West side of the city...

This little girl was at her parents booth where they sold embroidered silk pictures.... She was threading the needle for her Mom or Dad who must've been working on this lovely piece of art...

Looking down a row of games at the Ex.... this was around lunch hour, it was much more crowded as the day went on...
|
BMO Field is right square in the middle of the Exhibition grounds. This is where Toronto's MLS team (Toronto FC) plays... (www.bmofield.com) - it has quite interesting history as it is part of the Exhibition grounds. It is actually the fifth stadium to be located at its exact location at Exhibition Place.

After a long day of spending money and LOTS of walking, we headed to our favorite Toronto eatery, "The Old Spaghetti Factory" for some delicious food! (Mouse over for details)

Today was the day of a family tradition being carried on when I headed to the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE or Ex - short of Exhibition) with my parents. Ever since I was a child it was a summer event I always look forward to. As a child it was more for the midway rides, where as now, it's more for the shopping!...
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is an 18-day fair taking place every August concluding on Labour Day. Over its 129 year history, the CNE has grown to be the largest annual fair in Canada and the fifth largest in North America attracting approximately 1.25 million visitors each year. (www.theex.com) People come from ALL over to attend every year and it's worth seeing!!! For more about it you can visit the link above for the official website....

AHHHH! I LOVE the Old Spaghetti Factory! When I went to Toronto on Spring Break a few years back, this is where we went to dinner one night! So crazy to see pictures of it again! I don't think I took any pictures of it, except for the expressions on our faces as we ordered the strange named shots that we did there...haha.....ahh, such great food!

Looks like a great place to visit...The Old Spaghetti Factory in Pasadena, CA is actually haunted. The building it resides in used to be an old school house where some sort of tragedy happened.
