When I move to Saskatoon at the end of next month, I can do so with the peace of mind that I'll know at least one other person (besides my mentor). Eric, my good friend from Vancouver, moved to Toon-town not even a week ago, having accepted a job there with the city urban planning department.
So this past weekend we met up and hung out together. In fact, I stayed overnight at his place. He found himself a nice apartment in the City Park area. Should I rent instead of buy, I will in all likelihood end up living in the same neighbourhood also.
So what did we do as first-timers in Toon-town?
Coffee: we went to a nice coffee place called D'lish. Nice atmosphere, good coffee.
Dinner: we went to - of all places - a bookstore (!) for dinner; there's a restaurant attached to a popular bookstore in the city, so we went there to check it out. So-so.
Church: Emmanuel Baptist. Don't think I'll be going back. I can't do bands in church anymore...
Prairie Harvest Cafe: now this place was cool. Great food (brunch), and great coffee. The building's not ideal for a restaurant setting, but in a way it had some character.
It snowed lightly throughout the weekend. About -4.
I confess I'm getting very excited about this move.
