I was reminded of this by the Langdford-bashing in another thread.

Mike K. and I found ourselves in downtown Langford last week. Thinking back, I believe we went there just to check their wireless.

Anyway, after arriving, we dropped into a very up-market looking new restaurant right on the strip.

We both had the $9.95 sandwich and soup special, and thought it was pretty good.

Anyway, it was the nicest-looking place I've ever been to in the West Shore. It had a tent right in front. We both guessed they will probably remove the tent when the summer gets here, and it'll be a patio with perhaps 12 tables out front.

Yeah, I was surprised to see a place of that caliber on the Goldstream Ave. strip.

Oh, we also surveyed the site of the forthcoming clock tower in the middle of Goldstream and Mike did a very informal survey of residents about it. One said it would be another thing for the kids to vandalize and another said "clocks suck" if I recall correctly. Come to think of it, both comments helped reinforce our old Langford stereotypes.
