I am sitting pretty much in the same spot in Frankfurt, drinking the same things, almost exactly a year later.
I am nothing if not predictable.

The Big Chute Marine Railway was built over 100 years ago.
Once slated for demolition, it was discovered the railway was effective in blocking invasive species.
It is the only marine railway of its type still in use in all of North America.

Who 🇨🇦s are & how strong our resolve is can only be tested under stress.

That is very sad news indeed. Everyone was so very friendly. I will miss their sake and their pickle. Hope the owner and the staff land on their feet.

@profdownie I have some sad news. The sake bar in Shinbashi is closing down this coming Saturday.
They tried their best to keep it going despite fewer customers since COVID and the rising prices in Japan, but they finally decided to close it.
