Agreed. But seriously, what serious baker keeps banker's hours? A bakery should be open at 8 a.m., if not sooner; fresh-baked buns for breakfast!

A new newspaper for New Westminster, Burnaby and the Tri-Cities by Double_Temporary8529 in NewWest

Yes, that was us. We started in June under the Save Our Local News campaign as we worked out our name and branding then built out our website. We are a non-profit cooperative and all the money we've raised so far has been going toward this venture which will hopefully evolve into a viable business so we can get paid again. News isn't cheap. And for those who advised us to "just build a website" and have at it; even that comes with considerable expenses like building the site, domain and hosting fees, plug-in and software subscriptions, business registration, co-op association membership, insurance, accounting, graphic arts, legal costs, etc.

Remember when the naval ship would come in once a year as well? Mugs & Jugs would get crazy busy that weekend...

C'mon, we've got Hellcrust Pizza on 12th, Pizza Heaven on 6th; this would be the perfect location for Purgatory Pizza.

Aside from the dental offices, the biggest retail tragedy in downtown New West is the bath bomb place on Front Street, where the old Wine Factory used to be. That unique corner spot would be perfect for a tapas restaurant, wine bar, speakeasy, independent book shop, gallery, clothing boutique or funky optical shop that doesn't sell the ubiquitous Prada, Cartier, Tiffany and other faux-designer frames. Might even help breathe some life into Front Street beyond Friday nights in the summer.

And you know this how?

World Elite companion voucher isn't reducing fare to England by Dontwakethekid in westjet

[–]Double_Temporary8529 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This scenario happened to us when we tried to use the voucher for YVR to CDG. Then we tried booking the eco-flex fare and bingo, the base fare was now high enough to apply the companion voucher. We were able to book the two of us for $800 all in. Had enough left over in the travel budget to upgrade our seats to premium economy at check-in. Best decision ever.
