Port Hope is one of my favourite places. I have personally floated my Granny down the Fanny. When we last saw her she seemed to be having fun, smiling and yelling and waving enthusiastically! I have also purchased tea in the Bristish Store, seen live shows in the beautiful theatre, had a great Latte in the independent coffee store, and dined on delicious Thai, Mexican, and Indian food (not at the same time). The country's most incredible art deco antique store is there, as are many other antique stores. The Bed and Breakfast...well, what can I say...great bed and a great breakfast! The town has a Junior A Hockey Team (well...it is in Canada after all) and the Liquoir Store as a parking lot. There are sufficient churches to save almost any class of sinner, except of course the "holyier than though, prothelizing, anti-nuke crusaders" who appear occasionally like dandilions on a beautiful lawn. No fear...they can be dug out. BONUS: the town has one of the best gosh darn Santa Claus parades this side of Welcome, complete with pipe bands, dancers, twilers, rock bands, scouts, cadets, Canada Post candy hurlers, fire truck and of course...Santa. This is a great town to visit at any time of the year.
