Synthpop @AustraTalks @npsToronto @to2015 #panamania pumping bass feels like inside a club, yet the band started on the plaza before the sunset. Haven't heard so much sequencing live since my university days. Entertaining to watch for times when none of three keyboards had hands on keys. Even most drums were electronic. My greying hair was not representative of the audience. Austra is Ryan Wonsiak (keyboards), Maya Potestski (drums), Katie Stelmanis (vocals and keys), Dorian Wolf (bass and keys). (Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto) 20150812 - Summer at 10pm
Thousands hear @jannarden claim @allisoncornell playing with her favourite musician @npstoronto on stage at #panamania. Relaxing songs and good humour have audience enjoying the time together on a cool August evening. Big screen on main stage has fans across the pond spacing out the crowd. (Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto) 20150811 - Landlocked green space
Discovered Cairns Avenue Parkette, a filled-in ravine where Cairns Creek used to flow south into Small's Pond before 1935. Surrounded by back yards of houses, it's a ditch with higher grassy areas enjoyed by dogs and their walkers. Entrance on the west side, no exit any other direction. Historical research explains the strange routing of roads in east end Toronto. (Highcroft Road, Upper Beaches, East Toronto) 20150809. "A brief history of Small's Pond, used then abused" | Chris Bateman | April 21, 2014 | BlogTO at www.blogto.com/city/2012/04/a_brief_history_of_smalls_pon... - Astro Stage
Greek dancing by @LevendiaX Hellenic Folklore Assoc @Taste_Danforth, near Jones Ave. Pedestrian traffic seems denser at the east end of the street festival, with kiddie rides and more community tents. Since we live within biking distance, the neighbourhood, we can visit when the crowds aren't there. (Taste of the Danforth, Greektown, Toronto) 20150808 - Basketball court mural
Solo player shoots hoops in front of @JamiiEsplanade mural led by Elisa (Shalak Attack) Monreal and Julian Periquet, supported by StreetARToronto. Project was unveiled last month before PanAmGames, colours enduring even on a rainy day. Jamii is Swahili for “community”; the Esplanade was a product of the urban reform movement of the early 1970s, with influences by Jane Jacobs. (David Crombie Park, St. Lawrence neighbourhood, Toronto) 20150804 - Sunday morning dim sum
Routing back home, Adam and Ayaka hosted us for brunch at a Chinese restaurant nearby. The popular dim sum selections are available from the pushcarts, and we ordered rice noodles from the kitchen. Clientele was predominantly non-Asian, so some entertainment from first-time diners at the next table. I now have a little headache and a slight feeling of depression, so it's either the warm summer humidity, or the MSG level is higher than back home. (Golden Harvest, Warren, Michigan) 20150802 - Overlooking Chicago River
Lunch in River North, hosted by Charlie and MaryAnn, who bought me into their family when I was a graduate student in 1982. Discussed their children Michael and Cathy, who are now in their 40s, married and with their own children. Ongoing commentary about the water craft passing on the river below: kayaks or power boats? (Chicago Chop House, River North, Chicago, Illinois) 20150801 - Systems science summit, Wisconsin
Closer to home than #ISSS2015 Berlin, Timothy FH Allen and David Ing, ex-presidents, met to exchange ideas. Small sandbox discussion, could have accommodated more guests for the barbeque. Diana enjoyed watching the horses out back. (Oregon, Wisconsin) 20150731 - Starboard paddlewheel
Artifact from the National Landmark Steamboat William M. Black, now on dry land at Paddlewheel Plaza at the National Mississippi River Museum. Only a brief stop on the drive from Fairfield Iowa to Madison Wisconsin, just before crossing the river eastbound. (Port of Dubuque, Iowa) 20150731 - Ice cream!
Dairy Bar is a local institution since 1950. Sundaes and soft serve ice cream cones. Picnic table outside in the shade. Unfortunately no choices for people sensitive to milk. (Dairy Bar, Fairfield, Iowa) 20150730 - Argiro Student Center queue
Vegetarian lunch was a good excuse to visit the Maharishi School of Management, but the lineup to enter the cafeteria servery was too long. We ran up the exit staircase to peek into one dining hall, where finding a table for a group of four would have been a challenge. Lots of people moving around with food on trays. Parking lots outside were full. With the menu of the day feature Chinese sweet and sour tofu, we opted for the buffet at Pizza Ranch in town (and ate too much, there). (Argiro Student Center, Maharishi School of Management, Fairfield, Iowa) 20150729 - Regional cuisine in Iowa
Enjoying lunch just off town square, at a classic locale in small town Iowa. Seated at the round table, as depicted in the painting on the wall: a group of locals that used to meet everyday for breakfast, and then again for lunch. Restaurant had been in operation done the 1960s, now on third owner. The walleye serving was mammoth, a great order of fish with battered fries. (Frontier Family Restaurant, Washington, Iowa) 20150727
