I've only been here since Sept. I do know the area by bus routes & can go all over the city. I just want to explore the other cities around here as I'm so new to S Ontario. Back home I knew the town like the back of my hand in in the late 1800's or early 1900's the name of the town was Smyths Falls, not Smiths Falls.. Smyth was the founder, but they decided to rename it Smiths as thats how it really was pronounced (the Y was an i sound). Loved the history of my home town.. ok not the newer history as it was a dump growing up & crime ridden & the Hells Angels owned the Police station & more then likely the old Mayor.. The new Mayor has done nothing but cleaned up the town & used the money to make it a nicer place.
