SATIRE COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio (registered pseudonym) and Dr.G.H., 2018. 

WORDPLAY LINK: The panels showing palindromic phrases derived from geography of the Americas were originally displayed on Wordplay posts on this blog during the interval from October 2018 to February 2019. Geographically focused concoctions are among the many palindromic treasures honored and displayed on this site. Check out the list of entries for "The Palindrome Suite" in the slide at the bottom of the first post on this topic.

SONGLINK: Some readers will be delighted (others will continue to groan) at our collection of songs based on palindromic phrases -- click the link to the initial blogpost in this series to make these links available as well.

Hikes, Bikes and Likes: TORONTO RAVINES #4

 

 Here's more stuff about some of Toronto's hidden treasures, continuing from three previous posts entitled "Hikes, Bikes and Likes: TORONTO RAVINES" #1 , #2 and #3.
