  3. Wow, more Jim's and them Jimmy too. My grandfather and two uncles called me Jimmy, partly be ause, I think, they called my dad Jim even though his given name was Charles Vernon, Grandpa was Charley. I really like a lot your mural featuring Dr. Jim Hansen. I did not know of him, I left NASA in 1980 and he became "Father of Global Warming/now Climate Change" in 1988. He has to be much discouraged over the puny efforts his country has made in the last 30 years.
    A super nice post, I learned tonight. Thank you, Jackie.

  4. ...wow, who knew that you could find so many Js with a coffee theme. So JIMMY is giving Tim a run for the money! I love the Kensington Market mural. The Ossington mural has JIMMY Carter too. The Dundas and Bay mural has JIMI Hendrix, JIM Morrison and I'm not sure who the center two are. I can see why you were looking forward to J, what a great JOB. Thanks JACKIE!

  7. Love the Jimmy's at Kensington Market, the coolness of the art on the wall is a great reason to enjoy a cup of Joe there- actually any of the locations are so cool1 The Jim Henson mural is wonderful, especially with Kermit and Gonzo featured!
