I came in 2004, America's Cup was not here until much later. In 2004, there was
Harry's Roadhouse, Rock Paper Scissors, Be Green and Janet's boutique on
Cookman, with a few other things. When did America's Cup open? 2008? When I
first moved here, I just parked on Lake bc there was always parking over there
at that time.
Quite honestly, I kind of avoided Cookman BC of the parking situation in more
recent years. I could never find a spot and I find that annoying if I just want
to run in somewhere for something quick. So, I think it really cuts both ways.
