Building Bella - the roof is done

BELLA's roof was just completed last Friday. The crew from Affiliated Roofers was just fantastic.

Bear is the foreman from Affiliated and he gives us a quick rundown on their work.

We surprised all the crews on site with some pizza and beverages to celebrate the roof completion. It was a great way start off the long weekend.

Meet the Neighbours - Butcher Boy Deli

Located at 7542 Edmonds, just a few doors down from the BELLA, the Butcher Boy Deli is truly one of the Highgate/Edmonds areas not so well kept secrets! It represents one of the best examples of the multicultural flavour of the area, and in particular the kind of loyalty that excellence brings. Talk about variety, from elk and deer sausage, to Bulgarian and Macedonian feta cheese, the Butcher Boy has virtually every kind of meat and cheese delicacy that can be imagined.

The relatively small store is jam packed with old world goodies not seen at your typical deli, as many of them are home made. The shelves are lined with all different kinds of pastas and behind the glass counter, the special cheeses such as the Polish Gouda reveal themselves. Hanging above the hard working staff, cuts of smoked lamb and beef hang along with barbequed pig and lamb to entice the shopper. Best not to go to this store on an empty stomach!

The Butcher Boy Deli can be reached at 604.522.4941 or just drop by 7542 Edmonds St. in Burnaby. You will not be disappointed.

What happened in Burnaby last Saturday??

A bunch of people got together to particapate in the Edmonds Clean Sweep event -that's what happened! Great turnout, lot's of garbage collected, great laughs and really good Hot Dogs from the Burnaby Fire Fighters.
