Before Amy and I left town over Easter, cheyanne gathered a group of us together to say goodbye to our beloved VAG cafe patio, which was scheduled to close on April 30th. We assumed the cafe was closing because of the gallery's move to Larwell Park. But that could take years, if it happens at all.
Yesterday, while walking on Robson, I thought I would take a peek at the patio and see what -- if anything -- is up. Sure enough, iron bars, a thank you and mention of its renovation.
Renovation is a loaded word these days -- with "-ovation" more often than not implying an "-eviction" (it's been how many years since renoviction entered the lexicon?). The cafe patio had a nicely-priced menu. If another cafe should take its place, I would hope that it keeps its prices reasonable -- and removes that bloody gate!
