I'm new to the city myself....and let's just say the city planners (if you can call them that) must have been rip roaring drunk when they layed out the roads in this town.

Bruce Monkhouse · « **Reply #7 on:** October 19, 2006, 11:42:44 »

They follow the old Mennonite cart paths....

RHFC_piper · « **Reply #8 on:** October 19, 2006, 12:23:17 »

What kind oF RV Location are you looking for? There are a great many pubs in the area (walking distance), and theres a coffee shop just up the road from the city hall (towards Waterloo town quare).

I have to head up to the Kitchener armouries in a few, I could recce the uptown area for a suitable location. Just let me know what kind of place you want to meet at.

RHFC_piper · « **Reply #9 on:** October 19, 2006, 12:44:10 »

Heres a quick map of some locations.

The red dot is where the rally will be (city hall)
The Black dot between City hall and Waterloo town square is a coffee shop... don't know the name, but I'll recce it today.
The Blue dot is a basement pub off of princes street called McMullens (good wings/pizza and beer deals)
The Green dot is a Scottish pub, Fox and the Fiddle, off of king street. Right beside the Fox is an Irish pub called Failte (unofficial pub of the Cpl. For life club of the RHFC)

Those are just some suggestions... all with in walking distance

Cheers,

- Piper

RHFC_Piper:

Those sound like good suggestions, I am stuck in meetings right up until 12:00 noon but will try and duck out early to get down to the rally location in time.

Brat56 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 19, 2006, 13:24:00 »

On Erb St. in front of Waterloo Town Square is Angies Kitchen...not Licensed...beside that in the Atrium is the Duke of Wellington on King St.& Bridgeport Rd. is the Huether Hotel...the place is a landmark...if you need more info...pm me and I will give you my # and may have a few more suggestions.

Brat56 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 19, 2006, 13:31:02 »

I guess I should mention that you need to be on the look-out and get out of the way of the Mennonite Horse & Buggy's in downtown Waterloo...the nags are a tad skittish at times!!!

The Huether would be a good choice... pretty close. But which restaurant / pub in the Huether;
The Lion Brewery
The Barley Works or
Cafe 1842.

Angie's Kitchen would work too.. bit more of a walk, but good eats.

There are just too many places up town... which reminds me, that coffee shop on the corner (black dot on the map; last post) isn't there anymore...

So there really isn't anything super close. Oh well.

OK. Just found out as I was leaving for work that the young un's have a PD day tomorrow so if there is to be an RV it must be 'kid-friendly'. How far of a walk is it from the Waterloo Town Square Mall?

About a block.. maybe 5 min walk for a guy with a cane a shrapnel in his legs... or two minutes for a normal human. (I'm allowed to joke.. its my shrapnel)

Bruce Monkhouse · « **Reply #17 on:** October 20, 2006, 06:39:08 »

I will check again when I get up but it looks like I will be shooting for the Town Square as my RV.

Bruce Monkhouse · « **Reply #18 on:** October 20, 2006, 11:06:32 »

Got my 3 hours sleep....on my way.

Devlin · « **Reply #19 on:** October 20, 2006, 17:25:04 »

Apologies for the no show folks but things were a little (ok extremely) crazy at work couldn't get away...maybe a Tri Cities Get together is in order sometime soon

Bruce Monkhouse · « **Reply #20 on:** October 21, 2006, 10:55:40 »

Small but intimate gathering, met RHFC_piper and chatted with some others. The father of Braun Woodfield was there, along with quite a few other parents. Thanks to the local media, specifically CHYM-FM, who were all around and supplied the PA trailer.

Left some copies of the latest "Ruxted" editorial with the organizing group for thier reading pleasure.

That's a nice update Bruce! +1 to KICX 106! They are also one of my personal favourites to listen to also. Never a week goes by also, that I haven't heard them mention to listeners 'Wear Red on Friday'

That would have been fabulous! Emerson Drive are one of my fave bands. Guess I'll have to listen to the radio station this morning and remember, Bruce forgot about me "sigh"

Glad you had a nice time, it wouldn't have worked for me to be able to go anyways so that's alright

I'm working in Brampton until 1830 but I plan on being there if all goes according to plan.

I'm easy to spot,.....I'll have on my favourite Don Johnson jacket.
