lpoutine,
Bob Fugger has just posted a new topic entitled "Axe & Grind - 910 Government Street" in forum "Retail Establishments & Grocery Markets".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not really sure where else to post this, but a coworker of mine discovered a sign for an "urban axe throwing club" on Broughton Street, across from Nautical Nellies. Which, it goes without saying, seemed a bit odd. And then this morning on the front of 910 Government Street, on the stairs down to the regal confines of the Burger King, underneath the Horror Escape Room sign was a sign for "Axe & Grind" (axeandgrind.org). Their website reveals the following:
"We are Victoria's best (and only) urban axe throwing range! We're bringing this quintessentially Canadian backyard sport indoors so you can experience something new with friends. Before each session, our experienced staff will teach you how to throw axe in a safe and fun environment, paving the way for a bit of competition amongst friends. Once you hear the satisfying thud of an axe into wood, you'll be hooked. An unforgettable way to spend a birthday (birthday boy/girl play free!), corporate party, bachelor or bachelorette or any special occasion.
It's like darts, but with an axe."
It goes on to state that they are officially licensed by WATL, the World Axe Throwing League.
Opens tomorrow. Not sure how smart it is to open such a club in the same building as the ICBC Driver Licensing Office.

silentfoto posted topic Is There a Method to City Planner Madness?
lpoutine,
silentfoto has just posted a new topic entitled "Is There a Method to City Planner Madness?" in forum "Urban Issues".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Having lived in big cities it's painfully obvious Victoria in current boom is 30 years behind the curve on infrastructure.
A horse and buggy town one taxi driver told me.
With boom only in it's infancy Vic needs a couple of freeways the way it is moving or crawling. Easier said than done I know but, as a city bus riding denizen of Vic, getting through downtown is a form of torture.
Curious if any of the city planners take public transportation to work.
Way it's going we will end up walking as a quicker alternative too the laboured bus service from our Air BNB residences because their ain't no apartment on the rental market.
Ive witnessed it before living in Berkeley in the dot com years.
Go to see an apartment only to find into 20 other couples waiting outside in line.
Plus, can your average service sector worker afford a $1300 one bed?

Mike K. posted topic Rental housing Q&A
lpoutine,
Mike K. has just posted a new topic entitled "Rental housing Q&A" in forum "Urban Issues".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We'll be starting a monthly Q&A component on Citified with professionals related to the commercial real-estate market, business related to real-estate and industry input on local issues or themes.
The first one will be a segment with Devon Properties, which is Victoria's largest rental housing management firm. The questions/answers will apply to industry professionals and consumers alike, and I'd like to open up the question suggestions to you all.
The Q&A segments will be comprised of 10 questions and input on the questions will also be generated through our relationship with CBRE, so unfortunately not all questions will be able to make it into the Q&A but we'll select them from those that you provide below.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, please don't hesitate to posit yours.
