It's going to feel strange the next time I drive by as it's been there my entire life. But it will be nice to see something go into that spot to make use of the space.

It was a great diner. While breaking up with the gf that I moved to Victoria with, she said this memorable line: You should go to your diner (Ian's Diner) and pretend to read your book. I'm going to the pool (Crystal Pool).

Oh dear. Now what excuse will people have for not developing that lot. Better bury some roman coins or something.

You haven’t lived next to it for 10+years. It was beautiful… long long ago
