September 2016 - Toronto ON
Starts with N - Nathan Phillips Square
Nathan Phillips, QC (November 7, 1892 – January 7, 1976) was a Canadian politician and popular Mayor of Toronto, Ontario, from 1955 to 1962. A lawyer by training, Phillips was first elected to Toronto City Council in 1926.
He is remembered for being the first Toronto mayor of the Jewish faith, and for ending an unbroken string of Protestant mayors, all of whom for over a century—starting with the appointment of Thomas David Morrison in 1836—had also been members of the Protestant Orange Order.

Nathan Phillips is best remembered as the driving force behind the construction of Toronto's New City Hall and the selection of a striking avant-garde design by Finnish architect Viljo Revell. Nathan Phillips Square was named in honour of the mayor.
I have shown some of these photos before so bear with me.
Summer 2016
Milwaukee WI the old vault doors in the Hilton which was originally an insurance company. I was all geeked out to see these after I had read about them and the desk clerk kindly took us to look at them.
I made it - I finally finished this baby quilt earlier this summer. No babies in mind as yet.
