The Proprietor of Gartch's International Pub
Fort Frances, Ontario, May 2010
If you happen to be passing through the border city of Fort Frances, Ontario, in Canada, a great place to go for libations and a pretty good place for food is Gartch's International Pub, which is on Highway 11, running through the center of town.
There, I found some interesting inebriates and even more interesting conversation. A patron kept good-naturedly referring to me as "Russian," (I am Welsh/Irish/English/Scots) and another warned me against the food, which I actually found quite palatable.
Pictured above is the pub's proprietor and host, Gartch himself, a lad of obviously Scottish descent and a true gentleman.
P.S.: Myung told me she thought this photo was a still from a Hitchcock movie. Made my month! R.
