Happy #CanadianBeerDay to all who celebrate! Here's my collection of vintage O'Keefe's ads, covering the era that O'Keefe's had a plant in #Ottawa, i.e. 1940s-1960s. (Blog post also includes pics & clippings re: O'Keefe's former Ottawa operations.) ashleynewall.ca/2025/10/okee…

New on my blog: "Chateau Lafayette Pre-History, Part 2: 1863-1883" #colourized #Ottawa

If Pharrell Williams researched his new Black Yacht Rock album for 10 secs, he would've seen my Black Yachting History story on Scuttlebutt Sailing News from last year (sailingscuttlebutt.com/2023/…). Free download - highly recommend, incl. for non-sailors! blackyachtrock.com/
