No way of scaling down pictures at the office yet so I can't post anything pretty for us this morning. If I could post something, though, it would totally be this one. Today marks day two and I'm typing this from my desk at 58Ninety on the new company laptop. I was second in this morning but as a commuter from Bolton I've got to leave before 7 if I have any hopes of snagging a parking spot at Kipling Station. There's free street parking down here so it is in my head that it might be worthwhile to start driving straight down at some point, but I'll likely wait until the TTC charges for parking to start that.

So this area is a little bit on the remote side at Woodbine and Danforth, and as I was warned a few times in the days leading up to my start, there's almost no decent food to be had. My boss took me across the street to Melanie's Bistro, which was actually quite nice, but indicated it was the only nice restaurant within walking distance. I'm hitting up Restaurantica, OurFaves, and Chowhound in hopes of securing a couple more regular haunts within a km or so. Yesterday was dark, dreary, and drab, and coupled with my job effectively being reading all day it put my brain in neutral. It was certainly a nicer commute in this morning, what with sunshine and all, and I was second in the office so I've got a little time to myself to type this.

The coffee from the automatic machine is not good. No Starbucks within three TTC stops. This may cause trouble.

That's odd. I count at least 5 Starbucks on Granville Street in downtown Vancouver. All within 10-15 minutes of each other. There might be more.

And oddly, there's a MegaBite Pizza there. And there'll be another MB Pizza opening just a block away. Odd.

I'm opening a a cafe on Danforth just east of Woodbine: True Brew Cafe. Espresso, latte, fair trade coffee and I'm going to bake everything myself. Plus light lunches and brunch.

Just waiting for some permits to come through -- we're hoping to open in mid-November.
