Episode Two – The Winking Judge

With at least 22 taps, The Winking Judge on Augusta Street in Hamilton offers one of the broadest selections of craft beers in the region. The atmosphere is devoted to good beer and the perfect place to hang out with old friends or make new ones.

But this pub also offers something that is not on their broad list of available brews: they offer eerie sightings of an elderly gentlemen in a dark top hat known fondly by staff and patrons as “The Judge.”

 

Location: The Winking Judge, 25 Augusta Street, Hamilton, ON

Episode One – Haslam’s Bookstore

A home-away-from-home for local authors as well as those from around the globe, Haslam’s Bookstore in St. Petersburg, Florida has always been a favourite haunt for those who court the written word.

Among authors who regularly visited the store was famous American writer Jack Kerouac. In fact, he not only returned regularly to the bookshop during his life, but also from beyond the grave.

 

Location: Haslam’s Bookstore, 2025 Central Avenue, St. Petersburg, Florida.
