Exploration - The Coach House

I have this customer who comes into the restaurant named Al. He really likes broccoli. He places his order and goes for 30-45 minute walks after ordering something simple like a Vegetable Fried Rice.
He has some of the most interesting ideas. Such as living on a boat. And some others I can't seem to recall at the moment, but when I do I am sure I will post about them.

This particular one is about the Coach House.

He previously mentioned it because Canadian author, Michael Ondaatje frequented the area of where the building is located.

I have no idea what my purpose for going is, but he told me to check it out but with the attitude that I have at work, which is obviously cool and nonchalant (partially joking, I'm an anxious mess most days).

This is Parkdale-tonian, Justin Rutledge playing my favourite song of his, which happens to be written with the help of Michael Ondaatje (In work citation to Globe and Mail article...). http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/music/justin-rutledge-teams-with-michael-ondaatje/article4314418/


Margaret Atwood actually tweeted recently about The Coach House. So that's like mad daps to the literary institution.
