That used to be the name instead of Coombs? Or do you mean thats the name of the reastraunt with the goats on the roof?

[_Ragnar_]

The old country market is "goats on the roofs" real name. The grocery store, restaurant, and shops.

[GYMBRAT]

Ah gottcha! I'm a nebie here, about 12 years so i wasn't sure what you ment.

Hey i don't blame you Gymbrat, we've had one snow day this year and that was barely a skiff, didn't even make the road white.

[IrishTuner]

Hey right on, your moving to my home town....Campbell River. I lived there
for 23 years. You may have to hire me too, I'm looking for an excuse to move back there. Especially since most of my family is there.

One jealous guy here!!!

[kloan]

i like the island, but people drive way too frickin slow... it's the "where am i gonna go, its an island" attitude... well, POINT B mother****er, that's where.

other than that, its great. :D

body surfing, what a blast that was!! Next time
I go I'm going to try with the board.

[Talo]

I've got a great job now , but it sure would be nice to have the option to work in a warmer climate.

I've been on the mainland now for 10 years. Now that I'm married and have a 1 year old girl, theres no need to be over here. I'd much rather be back "home" Theres not really any work there, thats the prob. Mills shut down, huge layoffs at the mine. All my buddies have to travel up to ft.mac.

[grader]

right on, i live in the cowichan valley, train at fitco, IMO the best gym on the island it seems to be the only hardcore gym around. good luck on your move, i lived in nanaimo for a few years. the economy there is dead, no logging= no industry your better off looking for a place in the cowichan valley, cobble hill, shawnigan lake area and commuting to victoria for your line of work. its only 20 minutes away.

I've never been there but my daughters BF trains there.. She doesn't, she said "there's way too much testosterone there", lol.. Must be a good gym, i'm gonna have to check it out.

Thanks bro, yeah the whole Isl is quite slow you bet, our company is based in CR so Nanaimo would be the farthest I'd wanna comute for work on a daily bases :) we stay crazy busy yr round which is nice
