Just got an e-mail notification of Burger King's Labour Day BOGO for Whopper or Whopper Jr.
App only. One time use. Valid until September 02.
That's not why the post. I remember the Burger King on Main Street. Good memories. Anyone got pics of the building or a link to it? I also remember the one in Richmond before they moved.
Wonder if it can stack today with Whooper Wednesdays.
I remember when the London Drugs on Victoria and 41st was built, but I don't remember what was there before. Does anyone remember?
Also a lot of the LD around the city are on a strip mall type property where they are the major anchor. Does HY Louie actually own all these properties?
there was a korean congregation at the strathcona church at pender and princess, directly across from the elementary school. i went there from around 2001 to maybe 2005 until i shunned the lord and converted to satanism.

It became an annex at one point. Strath was bursting at the seams when I went. Just under 1500 students. Best hot lunch programme and the meanest bitch of a dentist. We were forced to go. Twice a year................ had nightmares because of her.
Principal Barton was stern but nice. Later, VP Mr. Eton. Lol, we made his life miserable. I think we made him quit.

Holy crap............ just spent the last hour or so checking out this thread from the beginning. Crazy how things have changed so much since the original post.
Best part is remembering the old members who used to frequent RS back then........

if you guys ever noticed this random gap on the centre median island of E Broadway just east of Renfrew. It doesn't line up with anything, no back lane or driveway. Probably the last remnant of the old Renfrew bus loop for the #9 buses to turn back onto westbound Broadway
Here is what it had to say about some areas in Metro Vancouver.
Stanley Park = When you start regretting the long walk
Coal Harbour = Mainly empty million dollar condos
Downtown Westside = Afternoon Beers
UBC – Depressed Students
BCIT – Four years of school in two
SFU = The Lonely Mountain
Lonsdale = Like Granville Island but less busy
Richmond = bubble tea, bubble tea, bubble tea
New Westminster = Can’t afford Gastown so I moved here
George Massey Tunnel = The Gridlock Abyssal
Seymour Mountain = poor man’s cypress
Grouse Mountain = third best ski hill
Port Moody = beer!
White Rock = Kits of South Surrey
That place went thru a few, Safeway, then Liquidation World, then eventually the whole plaza was developed with the McDonalds and Rogers Video, Max's Bakery. The parking lot is horrendous, has always been.

only a couple years ago, after all this time, that i found out that 2-level parking just to the north of the London Drugs was also part of the parking for that plaza
^ that explains a lot. i always wondered why it was so much infinitely easier to get parking on that structure, and it turns out it was because everybody's like you!

Thats my go to place when parking there, the above ground of the two level parkade you're almost guaranteed to find a spot because everyone keeps circling the lot in front. The bottom level of the parkade is iffy for me as well.

Just don't back into the spots on the north side. The metal railings on top of the wall are angled in 45 degrees. I've seen SUV windows get smashed/lid damage from people backing in.
Also that one spot where the stairs are looks tempting until some jackass in a truck parks in the driving lane because the can't find a spot.
