Paper Tiger Coffee
So when most people think of Vancouver “The Couve”, they think “a derelict urban slum comprised of taverns, pawn shops and cheap motels, surrounded by a massive sprawling suburb, made up of the cartoon-like repeating backgrounds of, Safeway-Radioshack-Nail Salon strip-malls.” And although this may be a fairly accurate generalization, there are a number of people who have invested in the possibility that there may be something more.
Paper Tiger Coffee started just a couple of months ago, and I would definitely say that Vancouver could use more places like this. The owner is a well mannered young fellow with an affinity for antiques. When you buy something with cash, he will even pull the rotary on his fully functional 1943 cash register. I also scored a terrific book of Dostoevsky short stories for a buck and a half, and I think the price label was actually typed with an old turn of the century Royal type writer set up in the back of the shop.
I think this is where I will spend the rest of my free time in the couve.

My niece Jamie
My niece stopped by yesterday for a visit. We watched the movie Paranormal Activity and she shit her pants.
Don't go into the attic!
