| raro08:04 UTC26 Feb 2007 | Yes. Actually it was just "Mama's Cafe". Kind of a cafeteria style.
It will---true---be paved for a parking lot--- for Foodland next door, which owns it. [Joanie Mitchell has a better track record than Nostradamus!]

Raro: I read about the merger between Foodland and Meatco. Will the new supermarket be on that site? I read, I think, that the new warehouse would be behind the service station in Panama??

| macadownunder06:09 UTC27 Feb 2007 | Thanks Raro, sorry to read this also - was our hangout for breakfast on previous trips - any suggestions for something along the same lines? 3 weeks today and counting.
(Joanie Mitchell song one of my favourites - pity she was on the mark)

| raro10:32 UTC27 Feb 2007 | Yeah, I really loved Mama's, great place to run into everyone, decent food, good prices.
Foodland and Meatco will merge, but I'm not sure how the new "shopping mall" they are thinking of doing will be designed, or exactly where. But all those owners are pretty nice people, and will probably do a good job. Let's hope.
Funny, the reason for Mama's being paved was too many cars parking in town, so hard to find a place to park. Sounds like a big city problem! Pretty starnge, all in all.
