Not just the first outside of the US, but the first outside of Seattle where Starbucks originated.

He was a well known architect, Thomas Arthur Fee. If you happen to know any details I’d love to hear. Thanks! Love your cold case podcast and Vancouver exposed book.

You dont like the current set up of Waterfront Station? No public washrooms which keeps the homeless and troubled away. Its a pretty good system, just go to Union Station in downtown Chicago and find your way back to the burbs. Its raining commuters and trouble/all day and all of the night.

Waterfront Station is a landmark in Vancouver. Do you know that the first Starbucks outside of the U.S. is in Waterfront Station?
