枫下沙龙 / 游山玩水 / 七夕,我们的法式小TOWN,* MAIN STREET* 半日游. (很多PP,大家耐心~) ^-^ -ava_green(豆芽); 2007-8-21 {9650} (#3882438@0)

8月19日,是我们中国的传统节日里的七夕情人节.

这一天我们从早到晚都安排得满满的.

早上要去签MORTGAGE,中午要跟羊同学的亲戚喝茶,然后还要赶回来安排两个从温哥华过来玩的小妹妹.....

不过我们的办事效率很高.这些重要的事情忙完了,还剩下半个下午的时间.

于是带着两个从温哥华过来的小妹妹,一起,我们去逛了离家不远的MAIN STREET.

法式风情小镇.

MAIN STREET,我们经常都会去的,现在就算闭着眼睛也能走清楚的了.

可是我还是得说,这个小街,虽然才短短的几里,可是却历史悠久,

而且每次去,总是可以领略到不同的风情,并总有可爱的,浪漫的,温馨的小小的发现.

费话不多说了,上PP吧.

(PP很多,流水帐一般,大家耐心) ^-^

第一张先放一张街景一敝.

就是这个每隔几米就开满可爱的鲜花的小街,前后也就几里.如果走快一点,估计就10分钟的路程.:)

可是就是这么一条短短的街道,却一直散发着它独特的魅力.

这条街两边的房子,基本少也有50年以上的历史了吧.现在也都基本用做一些很有特色的商铺.

比如HAGEN DAZS,比如JUICY,还有很多惬意融融的酒吧.

这些房子在岁月里沉积的沧桑和历史,还有主人们爱心的打理,

现在每个房子看起来都富有着浓厚的人情气息.让人觉得亲切.

我们去,正好赶上了JAZZ纪念节,远远就听到了震撼力十足的音乐演唱.看看台上那些我们不知名的PLAYER.

他们的表现非常有感染力.台下坐满了观众.

一家小店.貌不惊人,却处处看出主人家的热情,比如门口鲜艳的小花儿,

比如门口走廊里的给顾客休息用的椅子.

主人家的服务也相当周到热情,猜猜他们家卖什么的?

答案揭晓-----JUICY COUTURE. :)

绝对的正版. 款式也很全,还出了最新款的大衣.

我不是JUICY的FANS,不过还是很好奇穿了一件红红的娃娃款大衣试试.

表情太臭美了,大家不准笑偶.

JUICY家很有个性的漂亮信纸.看着就很有买回家的冲动吧.

小店门口,让我倍感温暖的小设备--给狗狗顾客们准备的水和小COOKIE.

这是我在多伦多这么多年了,除了BLOOR以外的另外一条允许带狗狗一起进入店家逛街的街道.

主人们还都在门口写了: WELCOME ALL DOGS. *-*

抱着饼干罐子在门口留影.

可惜没带小CO同学来啊.........

下次一定给她补上.

再逛一家卖很多设计精致可爱的小装饰品的小店.

门口的一些小摆设:

LOVE一角

可爱的布娃娃和小熊.

我忍不住抱起旁边最胖的小熊合影.

羊说: 真没品啊...

我心想:这家伙真是没有童趣啊...

给大家看一些,我觉得一看就喜欢的商店标牌.

第一个是卖衣服的.

虽然店里的衣服都不太适合我,但是看到这么好看的招牌,还是忍不住要进去逛逛的.

还有这个,

感觉很像我们中国很早以前的发廊门口写的:理发店.几个字,简简单单,透着历史的古朴气息和亲切.

PS:背后是家卖ICE CREAM的店,生意很火,好多人排对.

内衣橱窗外面红通通的海棠花(是海棠吧?)

羊说:趁哪天夜深人静的时候,准备来偷几支,回家插上,力马就可以长得很好了

....

我:

这也是一家店门口,弄得很像个小花园.

花团锦簇的垃圾桶.

感觉似乎也不脏了,想抱着合影一张.惹来路人们好笑的观望.

MAIN STREET往里面走,有个安静的湖.

湖对面有条周围长满芦韦的小路.以前见过有人在那里拍婚纱照.很漂亮.

绿水小溪,不知名的鸭子鸟们,很是悠然自得呢.

快到傍晚,逐渐热闹起来的酒吧餐馆.

我们也很想找家餐厅进去解决晚饭,不过同来的两个MM想吃我们多伦多的川菜,于是只能等下次了.

羊说:改天我单独约你.

我:OK. :)

傍晚,游完这条可爱的小街,我们几个带着满足快乐的心情和饿得咕咕叫的肚子,跟MAIN STREET SAY GOODBYE.

当然,我这种爱好逛街的游客,一定是要有所收获的.

看看,这只可爱的,憨厚的,老实巴教的羊.就是我要求羊买给我的情人节礼物.

羊买了.

我就欢天喜地的抱着回家了.

最后祝大家开心~

“法式”小town的说法从哪里来？Markham最早的移民主要来自德国，后来陆续有爱尔兰、苏格兰和英格兰移民加入。请指教。 -archipelago(当时我就火了); 2007-8-21 (#3882565@0)

你发这么大火干什么?法式,英式,还是德式,我不知道,历史也不好,不过从一开始来就听人这么称呼这条小街来着.要做研究的话,估计你得再训高人.:)) -ava_green(豆芽); 2007-8-21 (#3882586@0)

很负责任的告诉你，archipelago说的对，你说的错----Markham最早的移民主要来自德国，如果非要加个什么"式"，德“式”更准确。 -g55(平安); 2007-8-21 {182} (#3883178@0)
另外，你不知道就就是不知道，听别人说了你顺着说也怪不得你。但是，既然知道自己历史不好，可以回避嘛，比如你说欧洲“式”的，呵呵。还有，有人告诉你了正确的，你还唧唧歪歪的，就是你不好了。

是是是,你教育的对.我向各位观众道歉.我历史不好,从来没及格过. -ava_green(豆芽); 2007-8-21 (#3883219@0)

呵呵，你别着急啊。我可不是教育你啊，要是我说话不中听了，你见谅啊。另外，照片挺好的。 ^-^ -g55(平安); 2007-8-21 (#3883231@0)

:)没着急,也没生气.你们说的是事实.我接受教育. -ava_green(豆芽); 2007-8-21 (#3883279@0)

作为在GTA国移范围内稍有姿色的小资女人，你的态度算是很不错了。 -archipelago(当时我就火了); 2007-8-21 (#3883269@0)

为什么你要给女人前面加那么多让人听着不怎么舒服的定语呢? -ava_green(豆芽); 2007-8-21 (#3883339@0)
What do you mean by "GTA国移范围内稍有姿色的小资女人"? I don't think you deserve LZ's politeness and friendliness. Just because you have a bit more knowledge of the town's history doesn't mean you have the right to be disrespectful. -asker(amour); 2007-8-21 (#3883344@0)
作为在GTA国移范围内没有教养的 whatever, 你的态度算是很不好了. -asker(amour); 2007-8-21 (#3883379@0)

Did I ever ask for LZ's, or yours, politeness or friendliness? If no, shut your amour up. I maybe rude, but I've been talking what I think is true. -archipelago(当时我就火了); 2007-8-21 (#3883422@0)

We, of course, have the right to tell you to go to the hell, shut your dirty mouth up and NOT make people laugh with your FAKE knowledge and mistunderstanding. My last reply to you, cause I normally don't talk to species -asker(amour); 2007-8-21 {160} (#3883444@0)
other than human beings. You have the right to shoot your shit, but absolutely not in this post, cause this post is for human beings with manners and education.

MM,别跟他吵了,我非常的感动,你这么帮我.:).... 我觉得人的内心决定看到的世界.有的人心里本来就不快乐不明媚,所以他看到的别人也是如此的.没有必要跟他争. -ava_green(豆芽); 2007-8-21 (#3883472@0)

呵呵...笨MM,才看到啊?! 不过还是深情的拥抱你. 很感谢你. :)) 也很感动... -ava_green(豆芽); 2007-8-21 (#3883684@0)

这个火大的同学,本来我是感谢你指出我的错误的.不过你可能在历史上比我好,但是在控制自己的情绪上真得注意.对别人的礼貌尊重上也得多注意点儿.不然你可能只会有更多发火的时候,自己也会不开心. -ava_green(豆芽); 2007-8-21 {222} (#3883613@0)
还有你给女人前面加的那些个定语.也许你自己感觉没什么,只是我听起来感觉别扭和感觉你对我的轻视.如果你真这么想的话,那我就算白跟你说这么多了,也请你以后别看我的贴.要是你本心不是这么想的,只是快言快语习惯的话.那就算了.以后注意就是.

给你+3分，我本来第一贴很客气的，第二贴有点调侃，是你那位好妹妹让我起火。 -archipelago(当时我就火了); 2007-8-21 {34} (#3883640@0)
你的这贴，值得我对你说句“抱歉”。

:)建议你把名字改成:当时我就乐了. :)) -ava_green(豆芽); 2007-8-21 (#3883693@0)

Sorry to say so, but I don't think you are one of those top students in history study as well. Markham does have connection with French nobility, in other words, French people and culture. Have a look at the following quotation: -asker(amour); 2007-8-21 {631} (#3883319@0)
In 1794, William Berczy led 75 German families from New York State to Markham Township, an area know as German Mills today. Each family was granted 200 acres (0.8 km²). Because of hardships, many returned to York and Niagara and the area became a ghost town.

In 1797, because of the revolution in France in 1789, many nobility fled the country and set off for Canada to take advantage of free land grants in Upper Canada. They were totally unprepared for survival under such crude conditions and most of them returned to their homeland. "

The full context is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Markham,_Ontario
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Markham,_Ontario

And sorry to say so, but I don't think you understand the meaning of "法式“。 Your French nobility, "were totally unprepared for survival under such crude conditions and most of them returned to their homeland. " -archipelago(当时我就火了); 2007-8-21 {395} (#3883364@0)
From 1803 to 1812, the largest group of settlers were Pennsylvania Germans, most of whom were Mennonites. These highly skilled craftsmen and knowledgeable farmers had the best chance for survival because they had already survived harsh conditions in Pennsylvania. From 1830 on, many Irish, Scottish and English emigrated to Upper Canada to escape the famine and overpopulation of their homeland.

I don't need to understand the term 法式, instead, you do need to understand that just because most of them left there doesn't mean that none of them at all had ever touched that place, settled down and left their French cutural influence. -asker(amour); 2007-8-21 (#3883417@0)

你哪只眼睛看到我说过none of them at all had ever touched that place blah blah blah? 什么叫”法式“？中国人也在哪里溜达过，所以也可以叫”中式“小镇？ -archipelago(当时我就火了); 2007-8-21 {135} (#3883446@0)
You don't understand what you're arguing about. Admit it and don't make yourself look stupid. I'm just tired of replying your post.

不得不支持一下“我就火了”，没看出他/她有什么过火的地方，倒是这位asker一直强词夺理且出言不逊。需要学习修炼的应该是这位asker吧。 -rusomething(帮帮忙啦,拜托)); 2007-8-22 (#3884835@0)

谢谢。这位女同学是出了名的强词好辩不认输的。 -archipelago(当时我就火了); 2007-8-22 (#3884855@0)

You know what, people like you should be sent to educational camp right away, cause you perceive a guy who titled women as "作为在GTA国移范围内稍有姿色的小资女人" as educated and right? Give me a break. -asker(amour); 2007-8-22 {412} (#3884869@0)
I do agree that he does have a point out there, but I just don't like him to use terms such as 作为在GTA国移范围内稍有姿色的小资女人, which sounds disrespectful and contemptuous.

Just because someone has some knowledge of something doesn't mean he has the right to be disrespectful.

I don't have time to waste on you. At least, archipelago(当时我就火了) is a man, cause he apologized to LZ LIKE A MAN.

Thanks for sharing, sister, I always feel that town looks greater in photos than in reality. :) You look so natural and great in the 6th picture from the bottom, and the Juicy red 最新款的大衣 seems not the right one for you at least in the photo. -asker(amour); 2007-8-21 {32} (#3883240@0)
I am not Juicy's fan either. :)

Thanks MM, HUG for our same opinions. Maybe i am too old to match Juicy's style. :( -ava_green(豆芽); 2007-8-21 (#3883316@0)

No, not the style, but it might be due to the colour and perhaps the light while the photo was taken. :) -asker(amour); 2007-8-21 (#3883327@0)

yeah, it's sharp red. rarely ware. Also the style is too young. I feel. :)) -ava_green(豆芽); 2007-8-21 (#3883358@0)
