I found this little sandwich joint, at the junction in the middle of Deep Cove’s two blocks of town center, it’s 1-ish in the afternoon, a cloudy 3°C afternoon, January 23, 2006, Canada’s federal election day.

Most shops were closed. Those opened were like, hair saloon, or fashion boutique.

A punk stood in front of this sandwich place, trying to light his ciggie, but apparently without much success, so he resorted to create some sparks by a tool which is used to light up torches. I talked to him, asked how does the food in this place taste. This is the only decent makan place here in Deep Cove, I realised.

“Very good, I like their sandwiches especially.”

Welcome to Deep Cove, in the District of West Vencouver. I came here by transfering 2 buses. First time from 407 to 98 B Line in Richmond Centre, and from 98 B Line to 411 in Burrand Station, downtown Vancouver. It took me like, maybe an hour an a half, passing through the Second Narrows Bridge (or Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Bridge).

Of course. What else could you like. They serve no burgers or fish and chips, only sandwiches.
