***an still hasn't sorted out that giant hole in the back of the old laundromat building. I'm beginning to wonder if he has mental health issues.

Heyo! An update on a certain fare at the Tin Roof Market and Deli on yonder Pendergast St....

Since the tragic demise of Babe's Honey Farm over the past years :( , stocks of the honey are still being depleted and available at certain stores.

Tin Roof is still selling three kinds of Babe's honey: regular honey, spearmint honey and, for us marinateers, sweet onion honey! :o

Candace sez she'll sell out eventually and has a couple of cases left. Who would like to help her sell out and enjoy this excellent local product while yer at it?

Chatacha soon!

Yes. Marc F a gan. His name gets partially blocked by the system.
He owns the food cart area, the old laundromat and the food court on Mackenzie.
Tenants have had issues with him for years.

This is taking political correctness TOO far.

Christmas coming and !damn! the Village is lookin' fiiiine! ;)

Good to see that Big Wheel Boigers and Booster Juice are now open and getting good walkin traffic! :)

Went to Booster Juice to see their menu and couldn't resist my festive cravings, so left with a boosterized skim egg nog smoothie (with a pinch of protein powder) and... *drumroll* delicioso!! :D

Judging by the great crowds I always see in Big Wheel whenever I go by, I guess I must be the only Villager who has not indulged in burger or hotdog heaven... but *ebil laugh* that too will change soonish! :rolleyes:

Hey gang, whaddaya think of these new offerings in the Village please?

Ho Ho Holy *bleep* I've had too much Christmas goodies so far! :o :D

I was down in CSV today and noticed how flooded and muddy the sidewalks and grassy areas along the road are. It's a total mess and brings a bad feeling to the area. Does the city have any plans to fix this issue? Has anyone else noticed the mess?

^If it's not muddy, it's just a patch of dirt. Always.

I must admit that I'm not crazy about any of the new CSV eateries. They are very much geared to a younger crowd, not the kind of place I can take my mother. Too noisy, too uncomfortable, too grab-and-run. I know this post is going to sound cranky, but, really, I'm not a cranky person, and I love to eat out. However, I'd love a good quality, SIT DOWN restaurant in the Village.

Much as I love burgers, I'd prefer a spot where I could sit comfortably to enjoy it. And as for Booster Juice, have you seen how many carbs there are in those drinks? You should check with your doc to see if your heart can handle it before ordering! I've been into the new Bubby's twice, and both times have experienced the same problem they had in the OLD store - the food is great, but the service is awful. I like the new Mexican place, but I LOVED the old Thai place better.

I'm looking forward to the new soup place. Any more info on that?

Went down to Rico's Salsa tonight and had another fantastic meal. Been there 4 times and each one has been great. Ordered the special which was stuffed peppers in a wonderful sauce with a mexican name I couldn't pronounce? Pretty dead in there at 7:00 at night, hope it dosent go the way of the good Thai palce that was there before it! I haven't been to the Ethiopian Place there in awhile but remember it always being tasty, it sure smelled good.

Yes it is a small food court with sushi, ethiopian, a coffee bar and Rico's Salsa on the other side of Mackenzie across from BigWheel.
