The tale of two trains; Surrey’s Bear Creek Park and Stanley Park’s miniature railway. North Pole Express Train in Bear Creek Park, Surrey […]

Almost four months ago I signed on with my company, based out of Gastown. I’ve been blogging about my discovery of the neighbourhood ever since. Where to get lunch, what to see and do, and where to get a great sammich. Well yesterday our company moved out of our cramped, non-natural-lighting office space on Abbott […]

My $10 Aero Shorts Aeropostale is Coming to Canada – more specifically… Surrey. Aeropostale is one of those shops in which I can always find a good deal AND something super comfy.
