GPOYW: The Roof Edition
Sous Chef Jacquelien picks pansies from the roof of 274 Garry Street. We grow them up there to use as garnishes, since they’re edible (and technically, all garnish should be edible).

GPOYW: The Bryan Scott Photography Edition
(I pulled a few strings and got Bryan to release this pic for my use.)
A homemade funhouse in Chelyabinsk, Russia via New Horrors in Architecture and Construction.
“Montrealers are the lucky first recipients of a bunch of Bixi, North America’s first large-scale bicycle-sharing system, and boy are those bikes sexy. They’re computer-chip based, solar-powered, WiFi-enabled and have an old-school shape that’s easily recognizable. They also have LED head and taillights and a bell!
We’ve got 3,000 of these bikes set up between 300 downtown bike stations. It works like this: swipe your credit card in the pay station, ride off on your bike, return it to one of the 300 stations around town.”

Another great pic of Aqua Books
from Bryan Scott. I didn’t put the picture up here out of respect for Bryan, who’s a paid photog.
We’ve been trying to get something made for a year-and-a-half for the front of the store. Saw my blacksmith the other day at a Manitoba Crafts Council event. “No problem man. Still working on it.” #$% hippie.
