Pyat and Teddog's Urban Infiltration

[pyat]

For this week's fabulous lunchtime adventure/walk, commanderteddog and I went down to the waterfront. We went for lunch... sort of!


Boxcar Buffet!


Alas, this unusual steakhouse is closed and in the process of demolition.


"Aah, she's built like a steak-house, but she handles like a bistro!" - Zap Brannigan.

The parking lot was roped off, but we went to look around anyway. And found the delivery door swinging open. I got my trouser legs rather dirty when I made a mighty leap onto the loading bay... only to discover a perfectly serviceable stairway, hiding behind a pile of junk.

I crept inside while commanderteddog stood guard!


I did not go through the Staff Only door. What am I, some kind of trespasser?


Jars of urine ripen quietly in the filtered sun. Or pickle brine? I didn't check.


Last, but not least, the linotype back at the lobby of Teddog's office.

That door would look pretty nifty on a Fortress of Pulchritude and/or bathroom..

It'd be mighty heavy to take on the bus, though!

There's a restaurant that my brother frequents in Kenosha that is a diner built out of a train's dining car. It's pretty keen!

Also, I like the linotype! Neat.

Teddog works at a news-type paper!

I finally remembered the name of the chain: Victoria Station, right? MAN, I miss those places.

Perhaps originally, but the most recent name was Town and Country Buffet. (http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/North_America/Canada/Province_of_Ontario/Toronto-903418/Restaurants-Toronto-Town_Country_Buffet-BR-1.html)
