A Snack at the Mac by bkbinthecity

A Snack at the Mac

Well this picture is being posted one day late as yesterday turned out to be a bit of an unexpected adventure. Melody went out for lunch with some friends after church and when she got home we went out in the early evening for a light snack at the MacDonald Hotel.
The Mac is one of our favorite spots to hangout and relax as it overlooks the river valley. It has been a well known landmark in Edmonton since it opened in 1915.
When we got home there was a message letting us know that my Mom was in emergency after having been in a car accident. She broke her kneecap and is having surgery. So my sister picked us up and off we went. It was after midnight by the time we got home.
So that was my day yesterday. I hope everyone has a wonderful week
Eek sorry about your news, hope your mom recovers quickly.

Great PoV and great looking architecture

Great shot. Very impressive looking building, does it look a bit like the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City or is my memory playing tricks on me (very likely ;-)?
May 28th, 2012  
Gorgeous pov and architecture, Brian. Praying for you and your Mom.
May 28th, 2012  
Oh no, not more hospitals!!! My thoughts are prayers are with your mom and hope all goes well with her surgery. Your photo scene is so lovely. I agree it looks a bit like the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City. The only places I've been in Canada are Quebec City, Montreal and the Laurentian Mts. And, of course, Niagara Falls.

@cimes1 Thanks Carole. This hotel is part of the same hotel chain as the Chateau Fraontenc.. Those pots i Canada are very nice now you need to add Edmonton to your list.
May 28th, 2012  
Great shot and I hope your Mum is ok.
May 28th, 2012  
@karenann Appreciate that very much Karenann
May 28th, 2012  
@helstor No your memory is good. The two hotels are very similar and in fact are part of the same hotel chain

@vickisfotos Thanks Vicki
May 29th, 2012  
gosh! That is awful - I so hope your Mum has a speedy recovery. Lovely shot, and obviously macca's means something different in Canada to the dreadful 'double arches' the rest of the world has had inflicted upon it.
May 29th, 2012  
wow you've all had a crazy week, hope your mom is doing alright!
May 29th, 2012  
@sharonthompson Well we Mac Donalds here but because of the name of the hotel It has the nickname The Mac here in Edmonton
May 29th, 2012
