Tim Hortons is one of the most beloved businesses in Canada. It got its start with a small coffee shop in my hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. In order to commemorate its history, the very first store has been renovated to include a small museum. There are items to show how the franchise has grown and…

My Everything Birthday
42 is the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything. That is why I am dubbing today as my “Everything Birthday.” There is surprisingly little about everything birthdays on the world wide web.
