Never eat someplace called Terminal Lunch.
I used to live in a place named Kitchener, Ontario. It used to be
called Berlin (German being the largest ethnic group at the time), but
during WWI, we proper Canadians said, "We can't have that then, can
we!" and it was decided that the town should be named after the man
who is credited with inventing the concentration camp, Lord Kitchener.
Anyway, right next to the dilapidated bus terminal was (you guessed
it), Terminal Lunch. It seemed a very appropriate name. I always
thought that it was so named, not because it was next to the bus
terminal, but because if you ate there, there was a very good chance
that it might be your last meal.
That's always been my theory, about any Terminal Lunch...
Like the Station Hotel, I never sampled their menu.
I hated Kitchener.
cheers,
frank
