Growing up in the DTES (blocks away from the Savoy) even I don't dare to step foot in there. 
You are brace, sir.

That’s a longshore bar (their local 500 union hall is right behind it) I used to go quite often with the longshore bosses but since I’ve stopped drinking in 2019 it’s been no bueno for me
P.s I lied. It was the wardolf hotel on Hastings. My brain is fucked nowadays

Got a crack on my windshield. Started off as a chip that in the frit so I didn't notice until it cracked.
Do you guys recommend just going through insurance and going to whatever shop or do you have a recommendation that does a cash job?

If you have auto glass coverage is there any downside in getting it replaced via insurance? Only $200

Seven Star Glass seems to be recommended often in several of the local car groups though I have no previous experience. B

Speedy Auto Glass did a great job for my EF. Even though it had to be custom ordered, they got the job done and even let me choose the type I wanted. I think I ended up adding a bit more on top of the ICBC coverage but I was very happy with their service.

I've been once and it was a ton of fun. Took the 2nd row chairs out from the Odyssey minivan to make it enjoyable for everyone.
Quite sad to learn that they're closing, but that kind of rent and property tax increase is not sustainable for many small and medium-sized businesses.

N.V.M. - Thanks for that!
Do you have any recommendations for binoculars, or have advice on how to find the right pair? Most of my use will be urban settings and some local trails. Thanks in advance.

In the hunting community Vortex glass is very high quality for the price. Probably still going to drop 300-500 for a set but they are on par with binocs double the price
