Minor Fisheries in Port Colborne

I spent this sunny afternoon in Port Colborne.
It is a picturesque city on Lake Erie. The Welland Canal goes right through the town and is the main reason that the city exists. I followed my nose and a few of the locals into the Minor Fisheries.
By the decor, I quickly realized that the food had to be the draw so I had the fisherman's dinner. 
Wow, what a wonderful meal of perch, shrimp, scallops and calamari. The seafood was accompanied by very tasty French fries, bread, a wonderfully fresh and tasty cole slaw. All that for $10 plus tax. It was delicious.

After my lunch, I walked across the street and walked along the Welland Canal on the Port Promenade.

Is this the smallest home in Ontario?

I know that the average size of a home is finally starting to getting smaller in North America but really, the original part of the house below in Port Colborne can't be much more than 100 square feet.
 To describe it as tiny would be an overstatement, minuscule is a better description. It really is a micro home and that means that while it is very tiny, it is probably very affordable. Here are a few photos.

Another beautiful sunset in the Niagara Region and St. Catharines. This area has beautiful weather and typically 3 weeks less winter than Toronto.

What's Up with this?......The "Relax Bar"

Below are some recent photos of the Relax Bar on Niagara St. in St. Catharines. As I have never been in the establishment, I invite the reader to reach their own conclusions.
