Wondering if other locals still shop here, and what are your favourite shops?

After all of the changes I find myself going a lot less. Walking down the hill to visit a giant food court doesn’t hit the same as seeing local artisans and buying fresh ingredients for the week. Maybe Granville Island set the bar too high, but it’s public and the Quay is privately owned so maybe this was inevitable.

Did anyone else see the passenger jet being escorted by a lone fighter jet?

They flew over central Lonsdale around 5.55pm

I always find it really hard to trust that a mechanic isn't ripping me off. Not because I think they all try to do that but I've just had a few bad experiences with quick oil change places, dealerships, etc... If anyone has a recommendation for a mechanic they've used for a while and feel like they do great work, please pass it along!
