Subject: Re: In Toronto
Many thanks to Cindy and LDukie913 about the tips regarding my visit in
Toronto. I have heard about the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, but I must
confess my lack of geography I thought it was in UK. Unfortunately my time did
not give me possibilities to go there.
And the same goes with the Bata Shoe Museum, after spending my time in rainy
Toronto Islands, I was too wet to do anything else but have some cups of tea
and warming up in my hotel room.
I wonder does anybody know what has happened Sam the RecordMan's neon lights.
They were in some episode in FK, something very personal about Toronto.
Yours sincerely
Ensio Ferum

Titanic: For me it was a nice touch to connect Nick with some historical
events, that integrates fk vampires in real world and makes them a little bit
more realistic (like Dracula in London in B. Stoker's work)
Blood sweat: what about fk1, Feeding the Beast, for me it looks like he has
blood in his forehead after some bad dreams.
I have the feeling that Nick's and LaCroix's relationship got better in this
last season, as if LaCroix is more understanding about Nick's 'prolems' with
his identity or that Nick is nevertheless more settled with his vampiric
nature. At least regarding Dark Knight, where Nick is starving in the lack of
blood, in season 3 he seems to drink it quite often and without any hassle.
Tracy was probable the most cheerful person in FK. I simply loved this
character. Perhaps occasionally a bit damsel in distress (and awakening
chivalrous feelings in men) but anyway always getting in terms with the
situations. For me she was one of the most charming persons in last season
and they should have put more romance in Vachon's and Tracy's relationship.
It always seemed to be almost on the surface but never getting further.
I have the feeling that they brought in these new characters but did not know
what to actually do with them. Like two different stories all the time:
LaCroix, Nick, Natalie in one hand Vachon, Tracy, 'the lost boys' in other
hand.
Yours sincerely

The company went out of business and the location was bought by Ryerson
University. The neon records were taken down, but Ryerson has put them
in storage and has promised to re-erect them on the new building when it
is finished.

That's good news. Even in my small (compared to Toronto) home city there has
been discussion, that some lights are so fundamental to city's modern history
that they should be kept preserved like some important buildings.
It was nice to see that Honest Ed seemed to be still in business and also
Jilly's.
Yours sincerely
