I’m sitting in a restaurant listening to an attention-grabbing mixture of Afro-techno and rap music. It’s by far probably the most eclectic cafe I’ve been to right here in my West Coast Canadian metropolis. Pretend timber with stuffed monkeys and koala bears. Giant statues of giraffes. Enjoyable indicators, toys, jewelry, scrumptious espresso drinks and naturally artwork…
I learn someplace on Reddit that this neighbourhood, slightly ‘road’ is the fifth coolest road on this planet, dated one month in the past. Now I don’t have scientific proof however I wouldn’t doubt it! It’s inclusive, inventive, vibrant and non-pretentious. So… non-pretentious. I like it.
As I sip the drink I apparently named the ‘Gen X Particular’; espresso, ice and orange crush (is smart proper?) I’m having fun with the varied artwork on the partitions of native artists. The artwork is ideal for the native old-school hip and eclectic neighbourhood, and vibrant, and ideal… as all artwork is.
