Drake Hotel

YAY! It's winter, which means it's time to snag some cardboard boxes from Price Chopper for ultimate late night slushy tobogganing at Christie Pitts! Whoah - watch out for that dog shit!

Let's all swallow the blue pill together and take a trip to the absurd, enchanting and sometimes scary land of art.   read more...
