Day 65 - F*ing Tacos: La Taqueria
With a giant fresco of the Virgin Mary praying over the

Day 64 - Aquabus: Tooting Around False Creek For 25 Years
I really like the name Aquabus; it sounds so
futuristic. I feel like this could

Day 59 – Jethro’s Fine Grub… Best Pancake in Van City…A little diner on Dunbar Street that serves up some mean grub.
Prepare to wait in line if you show up on a Saturday or Sunday Late breakfast rush, and by line I mean up to an hour. Almost nothing in life is worth standing in line for an hour, but I can say that this place is close. The décor is a little sparse and I can’t help but think o ...
