Hamilton ....

A quiet (for a change) coffe shop ....













Timmy's or Tim Hortons is one of Canada's best kept secrets. Wherever I've been in the country, I've never known a quiet one - true!
My favourite 'cake' there are the muffins, click here to see the muffin menu - Mmmm ....
I've never checked the history of the Tim name, so for this shot I did, and amongst other things, found out that their first store was in Hamilton.
Click here to go to page about their history.
The name Tim Hortons comes from its founder who was a famous hockey player.
I'm no hockey nut, so click here  to read about his life. He died in 1974 after opening his 40th store.
Currently there are over 3,600 stores throughout Canada and USA so you could say it's been quite a success ....
