Lights, camera 📸, action...🎥🎥🎥
This older historical home known as the Ebor House is getting the attention that it deserves. While we love this house, so does the filming industry.🎬
Currently filming a Netflix series-Y The Last Man. The project is based on an award-winning graphic novel series of the same name. The series tells the take of a post-apocalyptic US in the wake of a deadly plague that has wiped out every person with a Y chromosome. In other words, it is suddenly a world without men... except for a lone college dropout named Yorick, who now finds himself and everyone he meets- questioning if and why he is the only man left.
So glad to hear about this!
Sarah Dauphinee this is the movie filming we drove past today

HOPPY EASTER🐰🥚🥕
Hand drawn menu that was thought to be for an Easter Tea at St. George's Church. It may have been drawn either by Mrs.Frederick Farncomb (Jane Robson 1826-1905) or her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Alfred Farncomb (Hannah Mary Coldwell 1864-1935).
Note the price for ice cream! 🍨
Obviously a much prized treat!

The key 🔑 To Better Living!
We are excited to have received this lighter that originally came from the Karl Weyrich Wood Speciality store of Newcastle. Mr.Weyrich built a variety of wood products like office desks, chairs, tables, but the company specialized in radio and television cabinets. The store was built in 1946 (beside and behind where the CIBC is now). This would have been a promotional gift that his store gave away at one time.
