It's not Ivy League but it is Yaletown


Right down the street from our condo is Yaletown, a very trendy neighborhood with lots of cool shops and restaurants. It was a warehouse district twenty years ago and many of the shops are elavated about five feet above the street on what t was formerly loading docks. Visually very unique. Stop one was the Marimekko shop, women's fashion with a Finnish flare. Big sale going on so, of course, Paula did her best to help move the merchandise. The manager of the store, Calin Banks, a very attractive late 20ish young lady, was extraordinarily knowledgeable and helpful. something about attractive young Canadian women! The town is teeming with them and they all seem so happy..no cold detached look in this town. Paula bought an incredible amount of stuff for slightly more than $200. Regular price it would have cost three times that. Thanks Calin and enjoy the Grand Canyon in the fall,
