Bathing in the City

Bathing in the City, originally uploaded by nfotxn.

Tonight I had a nice dinner and then took a relaxing soak in the tub.

Which reminds me. A while ago a local columnist did an interesting piece on baths in the city. From today's gay bathhouses and rub'n'tugs all the way back to municipal public baths inaugurated on the bayfront:

[They were] opened with great merriment on July 9, 1898, by burly Hamilton fire chief Aleck Aitchison, who provided "an exhibition of water displacement in a costume more abbreviated than that of a ballet dancer."

Baths are so much fun.

interesting, when did McNab become Macnab?

Probably never. During that era of that sign Mc and Mac are sorta interchangeable.
