New poster series: Retro St. Catharines!
Poster #5 – Market Square and The Old Courthouse
Right in the heart of downtown St. Catharines are these two landmarks. Market Square – where on a hot summer day, you can walk around eating donuts and cured meats with less judgement than usual – and the beautiful former Lincoln County Courthouse next door. I have many fond memories of going to the market with my family as a child, and now that things are (hopefully) going (closer to) back to normal, I plan on mulling around there with my family this summer.
I should make it clear you can actually buy fruit and vegetables there as well – I just tend to stick to the peperettes and pastries.
Oh, one last thing. When I was in high school, there was a shed-building skills competition in Market Square and our team won. Did I contribute to the team at all? No – I was designated the “foreman” and just stood and watched the whole time. Did I still get the prize at the end? You betcha.
