I used some of these No Name advertising signs a few weeks ago.
But they are are spreading everywhere.
.
I had no idea they also made beer, available at the liquor store.
But the absolutely best take on this is a Halloween costume! Her name is Sammy.

It is considered good luck to wear red or yellow underwear to bring in the New Year. The red underwear brings luck in love, and the yellow underwear brings luck in finances. The underwear should be new and purchased as a gift for the wearer for the full effect.

Luckily for me, while doing groceries at Soriana yesterday, there was plenty of red and yellow underwear for sale.
You could hedge your bets with a yellow bra and red bottoms!

Weekend Roundup
Welcome to The Weekend Roundup...hosted by Tom The Back Roads Traveler
Skywatch Friday
ABC Wednesday
1. Starts with "Y."
2. A Favorite
3. Yellow
For the letter of the week for this round I am going to go with all things TTC, Toronto Transit Corporation.
Starts with "Y"
"York" makes reference to the former Town of York - the forerunner to modern day Toronto and "Mills" refers to the grist and saw mills that churned in this valley from 1804 until 1926. During this period of industry York Mills was a busy place. It included a distillery, a tannery, a blacksmith shop, three churches, a school, a post office, a toll gate and the Jolly Miller Tavern which is still standing today at 3885 Yonge Street.
York Mills station opened in 1973, in what was then the Borough of North York, and replaced Eglinton as the northern terminus of the Yonge line. One year later, the subway was extended to Finch.
.
The current underground TTC bus platforms and GO Bus Terminal were built between 1985 and 1992 with the development of the York Mills Centre, with the TTC platforms inside the fare-paid area.
A tapestry called “Breaking Ground” by artist Laurie Swim was installed in the station in 2010 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of an accident that took place in Hoggs Hollow. On March 17, 1960, the incident popularly known as the "Hoggs Hollow Disaster" occurred. Five young Italian immigrant workers were killed while constructing a tunnel for a water main. The details of the accident, where they were trapped 35 feet underground in a cramped, dimly lit tunnel, sparked a public outcry over the lack of safety standards in construction and ultimately led to an improvement in working conditions in Ontario.
FAVOURITE
Yellow on the TTC
A common announcement "Stand Behind the Yellow Line".

I had this post as a draft for months and only learned this week that Tom chose the word YELLOW!

Letter Y
AS you drive the 401 - Trans Canada Highway, from Toronto to Montreal you will pass this sign with three towns on it.
I am using Yarker for this week's letter.
A patent dated January 13th, 1796, Lots 39, 4, 41, 42 and 43 in the first Concession of Camden were conveyed to Governor Simcoe , comprising of 1000 acres was know as the Simcoe tract. At that time this land was covered by primeval forest. The present village of Yarker stands on Lots 41 and 42.
One of the principle industries was Potash with one of the principle makers being Sidney Warner. Wood ashes were turned into Potash and since wood was the only heat source, settlers would save their ashes and trade them at Mr. Warner’s general store for other goods.
Sometime after 1840, the saw mill, a blacksmith shop, a grist mill, a carding mill, a store, a post office, a school, and a hotel was opened.
Yarker was also the home of one of the largest carriage wheel factories know as The Benjamin Manufacturing Company, Limited incorporated in 1895.
A more interesting fact, to me, is book related.
Marian Engel, OC, nĂ©e Marian Ruth Passmore (May 24, 1933 – February 16, 1985) was a Canadian novelist and a founding member of the Writers' Union of Canada.
She wrote a children's book My Name is not Odessa Yarker.
The title for Engel's second children's book was inspired by a road sign she saw when driving along the 401 Highway, which pointed to two towns: Odessa, and Yarker. The name elicited the image of "a fat lady in brown satin with some of the buttons off and egg on her front" (Engel).

Another serendipity! Spotted as we were having lunch at the Museum Tavern on Bloor St. West.
I have never even heard of this vermouth.
YZAGUIRRE VERMOUTH Spanish - Founded in 1884.
I think this should count as my Z too! Joking!!

King St. West - One of the public spaces along the street.
More yellow in the theatre sign in background for Come From Away.
