Toronto
I got into Toronto Sunday and went to the Outback Steakhouse by the Airport for some dinner. I was seated beside a group of ten guys, most who made me look small. You know how difficult that is. Well as it was it was a group of professional wrestlers.
I only recognized three as I haven't watched wrestling in years but the most vocal and the one who stood out the most is wrestler known as Edge. His real name is Adam Copeland and apparently is from Toronto.
Another wrestler that I recognized is Christian. His real name is Jason Reso and my understanding is that he is from Kitchener, ON.
The other wrestler was 'Spike Dudley' I don't know much about him, he was the one I was sitting nearest to and was fairly silent.
Chicago - Dixon
Once I was done my meetings in Chicago I started heading to Savannah and ended up spending the night in Dixon. I had never heard of Dixon but it is famous for Ronald Reagan's Boyhood Home.
This is the home that the Reagan Family first lived in, when they moved to Dixon in 1920. President Ronald Reagan's boyhood home has been restored to the 1920s period. Tours are available but were not running when I was there.
Dixon - continued
The last fact I run into that was interesting to me was that Dixon is where Chuck (Charles) Walgreen lived and opened his first pharmacy. You got it, Walgreens. Walgreens today has over 5,500 stores across the US.
That is about it for the B-list celebrity spotting and history. I did want to share with you the great rental car I had. After waiting 90 minutes for a car the rental agency upgraded me to a Jeep Commander.
This was an amazing vehicle. For a 4X4 it was a really smooth drive. More power than you could ever need and the stereo system shook the vehicle. I can't wait for my next 90 minute wait!
