This place is just the bees knees. Went here with a friend after finding out the mountain was closed and there was pretty much nothing else to do in Whistler, and we were happy we did.

The whole setup here is perfect. Drive up onto the mountainside…More »

Gotta love delivery dry cleaning, especially for a reasonable price with bang up service.

After going to Fletchers for years, I now do all my dry cleaning and professional laundering with DIB. Not that Fletchers is bad, but I don't live on the West…More »

Went to this place to get 2 Swiss Army knives engraved as gifts for my cousins today and was disappointed on several levels.

Most importantly, they couldn't fulfill on any of my requests - no engraving the red plastic covering, no engraving on the…More »

Trained here for two years with Popeye - love the guy. He's a great trainer and has become a friend, too. He makes it easy to learn Crossfit and is unintimidating, unlike some other Crossfitters and coaches I've experienced.

Popeye has since left…More »

Green Maids is OK - not bad, not great, but I have experienced better.

I used to use them regularly a couple years ago, then again recently for the first time in a long time, at my new apartment. The pros and cons here are pretty even, and weak, so I…More »

Recently updated lists from Anthony C.

Anthony in Boston (13)

Just like the other "Anthony in (city)" lists, I spend a lot of time in Boston, and this is where I've been. You'll notice it's of the greater Boston area, not just Boston proper, with a heavy dose of Concord establishments. I lived in Concord for 15 years, and my parents still do...

A Man Enjoys Tobacco (3)

Sometimes I like to enjoy a nice cigar paired with a generous pour of bourbon, scotch, or cognac, and on occasion even a cigarette. This is where I've purchased in Vancouver.

A Gastown Jaunt (22)

A tour of the local 'hood a la Antonio.

On the Finer Side (4)

Sometimes, one simply must truly dine.

On Caffeine (7)

99 times outta 100, I go for an Americano.

Up on the hill @ UBC (5)

Studying at UBC, then working at offices on campus, I've been around the block here.

Anthony in Seattle (6)

Having family in the Seattle area, I go here A LOT. These are the tales of my many experiences.

Fuddy Duddy but I Like It (4)

These places are kinda kitchy in a way I normally wouldn't go for, but are redeemed for one reason or another 'cus I like them!

Anthony in Montreal (6)

My place of birth, Montreal holds a special place in my heart. Full of great everything... people, restaurants, shopping, hotels... and most of my family - I spend time in Montreal regularly, and this is where I've been.

It's Gotta be Commercial Drive (4)

Name speaks for itself!
