While Ron was playing crib at the Royal City Towers today, I browsed through Antique stores down on Front Street. That area is looking a bit run down but the main street has been nicely updated and seems very vibrant. I sat in the sun enjoying the traffic on the river and the dock.
The Royal City Star boat used to be a Casino: that has now been moved to a new premise on Annicis Island but the old paddlewheeler is still here. There is a small building in front of it which houses a river level measure gauge, quite interesting. In the flood of 1848, the water was up to todays dock level. There is the worlds largest Tin Soldier and a 'Roundhouse Tug' moved here from the Expo 1986 site, now a children's playhouse.
