I'm actually pretty close to where Commander Fleming came up with the whole idea of James Bond to start with. Camp X.
A little history excerpt:
Quote:
When Ian Fleming visited Camp-X during the summer of 1942, the camp was at capacity and there was no room for visitors. The camp commandant encouraged visitors J. Edgar Hoover, Wild Bill Donovan, and others to stay at local hotels such as the Blue Swallow and the Genosha in Oshawa. In Fleming's case, he had friends who lived on Avenue Road in Toronto and elected to stay with them.
Each morning Fleming would sit on the porch with a cup of tea while waiting for a staff car from the camp to pick him up. What did he stare at every morning while waiting for his lift? St. James Bond United Church, directly across the street!
Often Fleming and other instructors would go into Oshawa to the Genosha Hotel for some entertainment. Parking was at the back of the hotel and could only be entered by, you guessed it, 'Bond Street'!

Oshawa residents, rejoice.
J. Edgar Hoover at the fucking Genosh'. My life is complete.
