Nothing at all wrong with Byng. When I wasn't skipping out in Grade 12 some of the best pot to be found in the city was there. Of course this was way back in 1970 so it wasn't, by modern standards, very good. And we won most of the fights with the greasers from Kits, so that must count for something. :-) > Well, look at the bright side. At least it wasn't in Surrey!

And did Fresgo's move in the last three weeks or something. It's been on Davie St for years!!! Oh, and Hamburger Mary's beats Fresgo's all to hell and gone. Add in the fish and chips at the English Bay Concession stand and you're in heaven, I tell you, HEAVEN! Actually, I'm no longer fighting the nightmare called traffic in Greater Vancouver. I'm relaxing on Vancouver Island, Ladysmith to be precise, where the rush hour lasts about 4 minutes. And I can actually purchase a fully detached house on 1/3 acre for something under a zillion dollars. (You don't really want to know how little [smirk]) So here's to you sitting in traffic trying to cross the Port Mann bridge while the bicycle freaks tell you that you should ride a bike into town. Or swearing at the delays on the Burrard Bridge while the same bike nuts rejoice over their absconding with 1/3 of the thing. Ahhh, life is wonderful!!!!! ttfn John
