I'm in line for a mediocre burger. Not a small line, a pretty big line, maybe 30 people.
This place - it's been "Opening Soon" in town for the past 4 months. Last year they had one of those food trucks, sold burgers, fries, poutine, and Stormy was all over it, telling me all about it, I had to go, best burgers ever, etc, etc. Then this year, they gave up the truck, they were popular enough I guess, and now they have a more permanent location.
So finally, after months of false starts they're finally open, 6 hours a day, 4 days a week, and I'm waiting here in line with everybody else to see what all the fuss is about.
Meh. 30 minutes in line. I go all in on the burger - triple deluxe, maybe $8.00, and the large poutine, $12.00, and - sincerely - none of it's a big deal. Like mediocre. Expensive even, for what you're getting. A&W, Even McDonalds do it - or some version of it - better and cheaper. And while I'm happy to support a lousy independent over a lousier multinational - I see no reason for this to be lousy.

Beautifully shot, acted, paced.
And a bit of a twist at the end.
I'm not sure I liked it - the ending, I mean, but the rest was excellent.

Meanwhile, a few pictures of the local Halloween decorations...
The first, from a "Sex-Positive" shop, I always wonder what the parents say when their kids are walking past and saying "I want THAT Costume for Halloween...."
And this, not far down the street a community resident has repurposed her Barbie & Ken collection....I wonder if she knows Ken?
I love the Ken with his dangling disco "balls"...
