New Westminster. Sounds like "the Queen", but looks like "Queens". It's a mix of lost-cause demographics, biker cousins and ex mental patients.

No worries though. The police are always close at hand. Either at Starbucks on 6th or Tim Horton's across the street. A friendly land with no Alabis.

And while we're on the subject: a tribute to mothers who look out contstantly for their lost children. "lost" is a matter of relativity. "Found" is a matter of consequence. "Wandering" is choice that most fall prey to.

The patron Saint of "female-hood" with all of her generous and selfless qualities has touched every single one of us Wandering Males at some point in our existence.

Let's say this: New West needs a breath of fresh air. The waterfront is dying. Columbia St is long-dead and prone to vampirism. Uptown is retired and dysfunctional. Queen's Park is hoity-toity and colorful, but honestly Marge, it's the only place you can walk your little poodle, "Fluffie" and feel safe.

I prefer to hang out at the Terminal City Pub for Friday night Karaoke. It's a legend whose days are numbered, so y'all come down, y'hear?

Owin makes a point here: "location is everything". Our graf bank is a little dated, so c'mon you digital cam dudes. Snap a few clicks and send them to SEZ. Win a cheezeburger or more. Prove to me that there's more to New Westminster than Yard Sales and Happy Hours. Please.

This piece is getting warmer, as in "apple pie". Why are there bears in my back yard? why?

Things are warming up. Just in time for Winter. Color and light are titilating my kundalini. These guys - although speaking in Greek are saying a lot. Warm up your locomotive and head to the Pizza Hut.

You have to hand it to these folks: it's tough to paint on corrugated tin. There's life in between the cracks in in the sidewalk after all. The jumble on the left is what happens to Psychic Romance when you fall in love with Gypsy Queens. Your future is uncertain, but full of tall strangers.

We cast one look backwards at the barren concrete of New West as we retreat joyfully to the suburbs. Wishing everyone a merry christmas early this year. Drink up, it's later than you think
