Yes went out for lunch today too.
Shoeless Joe's
276 King street
(King/Duncan)
This is a good story, you older reader's will like this one, or not.
So Brandon and I decided we needed to eat out again this evening, so we headed out. Now Brandon is not as trusting as your Steph's and Cindy's, he is always saying "don't take me to one of those weird places you go to".
Come on Brandon, you gotta live a little! Let's explore the food world. His response "ah no!"
We headed downtown, because I knew we could find someplace down there.
I had a couple of places in mind, but I couldn't quite remember where they were.
We had walked along Duncan, where I looked for the Duncan Street Grille I just couldn't find it! Not that I couldn't find it, it was just gone. The building was still there, but it was long gone.
We also looked for the Whistling Oyster, again the building was still there, the tall building on the corner, which had a restaurant on every floor, was still there, but the restaurants long gone.
I goggled it, just to get the correct spelling, and one of the latest reviews states in bold capital letters, RESTAURANT IS CLOSED!

Brandon is getting a little annoyed at this point because were we kinda just walking around in circles, going up and down the blocks. Brandon had looked up the name of another restaurant on Google we were looking for and it told him there was one in Mississauga I kept telling him, this one wouldn't close, it has been here forever! He kept saying, "my point exactly, it is probably gone!!!!
Finally we found it, well let's just say we stumbled upon it........I just hung my head!
Alice Fazolli's
There it stood, in all it's glory, even with the green sign in the window, giving us the green light to eat in there, but it was closed as well...actually more abandoned!!
I really felt old at this point

Brandon is like "see I told you, not every thing stays open for ever!!"
I stood there for a moment of silence for these places that we had lost and they we realized that we were cold and hungry and we moved on!
We got to King street and just a little past Duncan, we find "Shoeless Joe's".
Brandon is all excited and has this big grin on his face' "Now this is my kinda place"!
It seems I have run out of room for this post stay tuned to part two..........
