Sounds like a awesome idea. So long as everyone is aware that the quality may vary. –John H. Oaks
If people are dumb enough to buy food like this, then let the consequences follow. –Sarah Frost

Just look at the lovely “public square” at Comox and Denman. Booze, peeing in public...it’s great. The 7-Eleven must love the introduction of tables and chairs for the strolling public. –Victoria Joss
They had them, destroyed them and built condos on them. –Wendy Houghton
EMPIRE STATE OF MIND
Re: “Cloud 9 Revolving Restaurant to close in September,” Aug. 3, 2017.
Another one bites the dust! Pretty soon there will be nothing left in Vancouver that is older than five minutes!
Truthfully, I feel sad. I had heard about it and felt sad then, but now that I see it in black and white I feel more sad. I am crazy about some of the new buildings coming up because they are wild and out there and beautiful – like nothing we have seen before. But these are not up yet.
Plus, as per a rant in a recent Westender about new buildings from Jervis to Nicola, there will also be new buildings from Cardero to Bidwell on Davie.
Nevertheless I will miss the Empire Landmark Hotel. –Danielle
