It's Monday August the 28 around 6:58AM and

Vancouver Craigslist Remainders: Grouse Grind, Patios, PNE, Mini Bikes

Because somebody has to read Craigslist Vancouver. Here's some things worth looking at.

6. Apparently our patios suck. "Rant: Vancouver The Anti Patio Town":

"what is it with vancouver????? there's hardly a patio in the downtown area that is decent, although steamworks has put some considerable work on theirs since I've left. this is a beautiful city, and i would enjoy having a few meal or drinks on a nice patio. i've heard the reason there are limits to this is because vancouver has harsh bylaws against using sidewalk area. is this true???"

Yeah, but when Steamworks is the benchmark, come on how can we take this poster seriously?

5. "To the piece of shit who hit my car....":

"Yes, this post is dedicated to the steaming pool of putrid corn-burrito diarrhea who did a hit-and-run my parked car at god knows what hour."

Does Taco Time know that this guy is calling people burritos? Watch out.

4. "Rant Trendy Slickity Jims on Trendy Main St"

"Rude service and the food is overpriced but hey atleast its a trendy place to eat trendy food on "TRENDY" Main Street. Did I mention I saw a trendy cockroach dressed in trendy ARK clothing wandering in the bathroom. "

Ahhhh...Main st. Home of the trendy cockroach.

3. "RANT: Stupid mini motorcycles"

"They look like the powerwheels a 5 year old would ride on so why the @#$% do I see adult men riding them?! There are 2 that I know of in my neighbourhood and one of the guys actually attempted to pick me up from it! NO! I'd be more impressed by a guy on a bicycle. Save your money and buy a real bike! "

Wow, people are still rolling on mini-bikes. So over.

2. A double shot of Grouse Grind rants: "Fatties on the Grouse Grind", and "grouse grind gong show".

" fat people: you are too slow and take up too much room on the trail. furthermore isn't it dangerous for you to be up there? who has the strength to carry you back down the mountain when you go into cardiac arrest from over-exerting yourself? "

Booo Hooo!

1. "PNE"

"Pancake breakfast - Little did I know, it was actually just a pancake breakfast meaning I paid $3 for two pancakes. That's right, $3 for 2 pancakes unfortunately I made the mistake of thinking pancake breakfast meant it was a breakfast with pancakes ala Stampede pancake breakfast. I may get flamed for ranting about this because it was for charity blah blah blah, but seriously, anyone been to Bon's off broadway?"

See, we're not the only ones who think the PNE is lame.

TheVancouverite has brought Tacos back to Vancouver. I emailed Taco Bell as too why they show Canadian Commercials but don't have any freaking stores in Western Canada that aren't in Squampton. They have yet to reply.
