Stratford is about 2 hours west of Toronto. For some reason,* it’s become a big Shakespeare hub. I was only there for 24 hours so I didn’t get to go to any shows, but it’s a great looking little town. Everything’s clean and nice and all the pubs have good local beers.
I like this shot because of the flowers on the back porch of the restaurant and the Canadian flag flying over the city hall.

* Yes, I realize that Shakespeare was from Stratford-on-Avon in England, therefore Stratford Canada, with the Avon river running through it, is the Shakespeare connection. I don’t think it was named Stratford, Ontario 400 years ago, though. My question was more, Why did they decide to found a Shakespeare-centric town in the middle of Ontario?
