Something Spooky

Photobucket

After work tonight a friend and I visited Potter's Haunted House, a yearly event where a local nursery builds an elaborate haunted house that scares the bejeezus out of everyone who enters.

Drive-thru

Photobucket

If you don't have much time for dropping things off for charity, this is the solution: the drive-thru charity donation box. This one's for books, but there are also locations where there are two or three of these for different things: clothes, shoes to name a couple. However, I shudder to think what happens to books when they are dropped in there, and then others pile on top!

Read with Pride

Photobucket

New Westminster is gearing up for Diversity Week, a variety of Pride-related activities. The library has caught the Pride spirit - this is the display inside the New West library door.

Books & Bikes

Photobucket

The Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant is decorated in a way that seems to fit New West's pseudo-Victorian image. This is but a portion of the books, bikes, lamps, stained glass windows and even streetcar (yes! filled with tables and chairs!) that fill the restaurant.

The food is also very good - I myself ate the Spaghetti with Mizrithi cheese a la Homer, a dish that legend serves Homer lived off of whilst writing 'Iliad'. Whether or not its true is immaterial; it was delicious!
