Chill Winston soft launches today. The long awaited new restaurant located at the junction of Carrall, Water, Alexander and Powell.
Update (6/30/2006 02:15 am): Caught the tail end of the evening tonight and a few photos which are posted on my flickr site under the tag Chill Winston. One thing to check out is the unisex bathroom. Very cool. I promised not to take any pictures until the sink they intended to install in the common area of the bathroom arrives.
They did open for Jazz Fest in Gastown over the weekend but I was out frolicking in Calgary. I hear they did pretty well but Sonia, one of the owners, looked pretty exhausted today. Opening a restaurant isn’t always fun and games.
Address: 3 Alexander Street, Vancouver
(the owner of the building wanted to use 1 Alexander Street but technically, it is 1 Alexander as well)…
More details as soon as I have a chance to check it out…

Read former Mayors Larry Campbell and Philip Owen’s endorsements of the stadium…
Representatives from potential user groups of the Whitecaps Waterfront Stadium came together on Thursday to encourage City Council to move the project forward so it can be completed as soon as possible. If approved, the current timeline put forth by Vancouver City Staff has the proposed 15,000-seat multi-use venue not breaking ground until early 2009.
“We are overwhelmed with the support we have received from a large variety of user groups,” said Bob Lenarduzzi, Whitecaps Director of Soccer Operations. “Since we announced our vision of a waterfront stadium for Vancouver a number of potential user groups have come forward to express the need for a stadium of this type in order to bring the best cultural, community, concerts and sporting events to our city.”

Your Whitecaps
Salt aka Salt Tasting Room, 45 Trounce Alley, still not open. Chill Winston, 3 Alexander Street, still not open. Video Monster, 36 Powell Street, now moved to 1 West Cordova, former location of One Lounge.
Looking forward to seeing Chill Winston open up – big space, good vibe. Also looking forward to the new Video Monster location open up on June 15th, it’s all they could have hoped for – a kitchen, possibly even a liquor license and more.

An email from Arthur Griffiths in support of the Whitecaps Stadium in Gastown via the Vancouver Board of Trade.
Today appears to be the day to vote online with the Province newspaper regarding the Whitecaps Waterfront Station. I received two opposing viewpoints into my inbox this morning, so far it looks like the position in favor for the stadium is taking the lead online.

Picture this, you turn on the radio and you hear an infectious song. The vocals are sultry; the soul is reminiscent of your favorite Motown artist. The song ends, but you keep singing the chorus. The melody won’t escape your head.
More information about this event…
More malaise for Gastown. Evan (one of the owners) leaves Curious on Powell Street and now people are speculating to its demise. and now… One Restaurant appears to be closed.
RIP One Restaurant. We a great event there but I feel that there could’ve been more engagement from their side on the promotions angle.
Now they’re closed for the count. Looks like the screens have been pulled out and the place vacated. A notice on the front door depicts an apology for being closed. The notice on the inside appears to be a notice of termination of lease.
