why do I have to live so far South

that location is actually pretty far for me and would probably take me like 45 mins to get to. I live in Bridlewood SW. Chinook worked well because it's about 15-20 mins for me.

LOL you need to move up here! Chinook is about 30 mins for me, but I don't mind the drive We need another central location that isn't doing any major renovations...

There is a Starbucks just off to the West side of Elbow dr and 49th, this is kind of a middle ground. There is generally ok angle parking up and down the plaza street on Sunday. Would make for some good pictures actually.

I probably won't know any of the locations so whenever you guys agree on one just post up the address and I'll mapquest it

looks like the weather may be an issue once again.

quick question guys how many kms do you average every fillup now?

I do mostly city and very short distances so my car barely has time to warm up.

I'm only at 2100 kms and the best I have done to date is 460kms a 80% city 20% highway. Seems a bit low.

-11 with flurries for Sunday!!

Should be not too bad to find, I think the plaza is the first set of lights past 58th street (the back access way to Chinook) if you are headed downtown on Elbow.

Weather be damned, I am going for a coffee on Sunday!

the weather better cooperate because I don't want to clean the car inside out and have it be dirty 2 minutes after I leave home.

Crap where the hell is that Crackbucks? I need an addy and a google map LOL! No wash and vacuum for me on this meet, but I'll slap on my front lip

EDIT: HAHAHAHA I checked weather.ca, they show Thursday afternoon: Wet Flurries...then underneath the immediate forecast, and I quote: "We don't expect any precipitation from Wednesday Overnight to Thursday Evening." HA!

lol, gotta love the weather (and the forecasters) around these parts

I will try to splice a map together today when I get home from work, you pretty much can't miss the location. There is an Esso service station on Elbow at the bottom of the plaza.

Sounds good; we grab a coffee around 1:00, then head out down Elbow to 17th, follow it up to Sarcee Trail and then make a left and head into Signal Hill. Is about a 20 minute cruise, plus a little promotion on 17th is always good Hey then I can grab another coffee at the Tims!


Oh here is a map of that area I promised;

The blue circle is Esso,
The red diamond is Starbucks
The green dots are the angle parking
The yellow bar is a pedestrian crossing
The big purple square is a full intersection with lights

North is up, Chinook is to the South of this area.

So basically I hop onto elbow around chinook and keep going up till I turn left on 49th and we'll all park in the angled parkings?

Anything at Starbucks for non coffee drinking people lol

Pretty much, you can't miss the Esso station

They have Tea and some overpriced hippie juice drinks

I agree, two coffee shops are better than one Ever since gasoline got so expensive I have been filling the Fit up on double lattes... In addition to boost, I find it keeps the injectors clean as well.
