Now that it’s been three months that I have firmly moved out of my apartment and will not return to it nor would I ever consider buying it, it is now an acceptable time to talk specifically about my little abode that I called home for over six years (February 2005 until September 2011)! On…

Cambie Taco Crawl
During the first year of my past workplace, I kind of followed my boss’ example and was a bit reclusive, aloof. The three researchers (two males, one female) stepped out of the office together every lunch. They walked by my office on their way out but a pattern had been established. Frankly, I was afraid…
Taco Wars on the West-Side?
On a lunch-hour walk between Granville and Cambie on West Broadway, I must have ducked into a half-dozen potential lunch spots: Pizza Cono for cone-shaped organic pizzas, Chiffon Patisserie, Saravanaa Bhavan for $5 4-item lunches, and Whole Foods hot food section. I was just hoping La Taqueria at its new Broadway/Cambie location would be open…
Cambie Village biz: Kreation Artisan Cakes cupcakes
Next after Groupon, Living Social (LS) is where I have made the most group-buying purchases. No doubt LS is doing a good business for itself but I’ve noticed they got a fancy new logo (can’t even remember the old one) and differentiating itself with family-oriented Family Edition coupons as well. I didn’t know about Kreation…

Riveting
It’s just like me. From afar, I saw my director’s coffee cup one day during a meeting and I was fascinated. Are those really wavy grooves on the surface? Is that the Vancouver skyline?* Is it a reuseable container that looks like a take-away coffee cup? Which coffee shop did he get it from? What…
Best Part of the “Best Place on Earth”
View Cambie Street Corridor in a larger map It started innocently enough when I wanted to map the grocery stores (green pins) in my neighbourhood, the Cambie Street Corridor (or Cambie Village, if you please) since a big competitor is set to open its doors on April 29.
Great things in store
I have not posted much about where I live in Vancouver but, in fact, I am terribly giddy about my area. Quite often, I’m convinced that I live in the best neighbourhood in Vancouver (which some may add is “the best city in the world”). I was further convinced during a visit to the boutique-y…
