Food Scene

Inexpensive vegan restaurant. Clean food. Not high end - a bit rough and ready but good food.

There are lots of independent restaurants on Fort Street. Most of them are low to mid price. I like the Fish Curry place (on Fort near Blanchard) and La Tacqueria (also on Fort). The fish place is higher end; the taco shop is faster and less expensive food.

Parks & Nature

A piece of West Coast lake and trail. Beautiful and swimmable on a summer's day.
