That's awesome! Your grandma's stories sound fascinating. Unfortunately, concrete evidence of smuggling routes or secret societies in Camwood Park is probably pretty thin on the ground.

You might find some leads in old newspaper archives – the National Library Board has a fantastic online resource. Maybe even some old residents’ association newsletters? Good luck with your investigation! Let us know what you uncover. It sounds like a great project.

Yeah, Seafood Paradise is always packed. It's legendary for the chili crab, but also for the wait times. Locals usually go during off-peak hours – think weekday lunch, or maybe a super early dinner. Or they just accept the wait, because it's...Seafood Paradise. The chaos is part of the experience, I guess. Think of it like a really spicy, crowded theme park.
