I just meant to say that I would like to see local businesses target other market segments. I do know they usually sell bus tickets and passes as well as being good for picking up odds and ends when the other stores might be already closed. Did I buy Chai by Night from you, Briana? Travis says: May 28, at pm I think banning a particular business from moving into a neighborhood can be compared to banning a particular race from doing the same, with the same pitfalls.
Businesses that obey the laws of our community, have the same right to be here as the people who do the same. Instead of banning businesses that we feel create unsafe conditions, our recourse as citizens of a democracy is to influence our politicians to make laws that protect the safety of all its citizens. So, instead of lobbying to block a business, lobby to implement a safer community, such as one that does not produce as much homelessness and drug addiction, which leads to criminal behavior.
Janie says: May 30, at am I used to live by the seven eleven on Austin in Coquitlam. It is where I bought bus tickets when I went to Centennial Secondary.
I am pretty sure that the seven eleven on Austin was not open 24 hours, so maybe the common sense solution is to ask the city to limit business hours. Glad to hear it was good tea. Pat Johnstone says: May 31, at pm I will always associate with the bonk. In High School, my cycling buddies and I would meet right after school to do a Slurpee Run: a brisk road ride to Trail, broken up by occasional sprints, solo breaks, chase groups⦠everything I know about bike racing I learned in those rides.
Once we got to Trail, we stopped for the ubiquitous Slurpee, quaffed them at headache-pace, then turned around and started the big climb out of Trail up the old Smelter Road. At the time, sports history buffs will note, two Canadians wore the yellow jersey in the Tour de France: Alex Staida and Steve Bauer, both riding for the Team.
