ON THE ROAD
BIG Timber Montana
During the 1800’s the land near present-day Big Timber, Montana was somewhat of a cross roads for the Indians of the region. The first white men know to be in the area were William Clark and his Corps of Discovery. As noted in Clark’s journal, “Rivers Across” refers to where the Boulder River and Big Timber Creek empty into the Yellowstone River just north of Big Timber.

Letter B BAY Station
It is located in heart of the Yorkville district just north of Bloor Street West on the west side of Bay Street.
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates its lost articles office at this station, where forgotten objects on the city's buses and trains are held until reclaimed or sold by auction.
Bay station opened in 1966 as part of the original segment of the Bloor–Danforth line, from Keele in the west to Woodbine in the east. Early plans of the line, and even some published maps, named this station "Yorkville"; the platform signs read "BAY" in large type, with a smaller "YORKVILLE" underneath.
Below the main platform for Bay station is an abandoned platform, which was used for only six months in 1966 when the TTC experimentally ran trains whose routes included portions of both the Yonge–University and Bloor–Danforth lines. This abandoned platform is sometimes referred to as "Lower Bay" by the general public or "Bay Lower" by the TTC.
The "secret" door to the lower platform, this was the exit during Doors Open.
The platform was in service from February to September 1966 as part of an interlining experiment, in which the TTC ran trains along three routes, with one matching the subsequent Bloor–Danforth line, and the other two combining parts of the Bloor–Danforth line with the Yonge–University line. The experiment was deemed a failure, largely because delays anywhere quickly cascaded to affect the entire system. Also, as the stations had not been laid out effectively for cross-platform interchange, trains travelling east from St. George and west from Yonge alternated between the two levels, leading passengers to wait on the stairs in-between the levels, since they were unable to tell which platform would receive the next train.
A piece of Canadian trivia/gossip, the host on this video is Ben Muloney, the oldest son of former prime minister Bill Mulroney. And he is married to Jessica Brownstein, daughter of Brown's Shoes founder. She happens to be a close friend of Megan Merkle, Duchess of Sussex (Meghan Markle). In 2018, she and her husband attended Markle's wedding to Prince Harry, and their children participated as page boys and flower girl.
Bay station has several exits and entrances on Cumberland, Bellair, and Bay, and this beauty store location is right next to the entrance on Bellair.
