Oh for the love of ice cream. T-Bay is home to the one and only Merla Mae. Well, ok - there's one in London, ON too, but I saw some earwigs there once so it's clearly not as good as the one in T Bay. Now that you're being driven wild by anticipation, I'll deliver the goods. Merla Mae is an ice cream joint in T Bay that makes its own ice cream and wonderfully greasy burgers and stuff.
Anna, who is usually subdued, was so excited by our trip to Merla Mae last spring that she made the face in the pic below and then voraciously devoured the hot fudge sundae in her hand. Tobey and I were terrified, yet impressed.
Merla Mae has now closed for the winter. Hibernating like a bear. Rest assured Merla Mae - we will be there when you awaken from your dairy-induced coma, ready to fill your pockets with chrome of baller proportions.
It's a little known fact, but the following song was originally written about going to Merla Mae, but the record execs forced a change to the lyrics because "the club" had a wider target audience. The Man...always keeping Thunder Bay down.
