Fog rolling in, transit hiccups, and Sabaton tonight.
Thursday's cool and gray—watch the escalators on your commute, and pick a show if you're out late.
It's 10 degrees this morning with fog settling in heavy, so give yourself a little extra time if you're heading out. UV's sitting at 3, so you're not getting burned, but the cloud cover means it'll stay dim most of the day. Sunset's at 6:37, so you've got just over eleven hours of daylight—plan accordingly if you're thinking of anything outdoors.
Transit's mostly back to normal: the Expo Line cleared a track intrusion alarm early this morning and is running regular service again. That said, keep an eye on the escalators if you're transferring—the down escalator from platform 2 at Brentwood Town Centre (Millennium Line) is out, the up escalator at New Westminster Station (Expo Line) is down, and the down left at Granville Station (Expo Line) by the Dunsmuir entrance is offline too. Nothing show-stopping, but worth knowing if you're on those lines.
On the local pulse: the Pattullo Bridge arches are coming down this Thanksgiving weekend in what sounds like a genuinely risky river operation—if you've got plans to cross or hang around that area, timing might be something to think about. Closer to home, AnnaLena just became Van's first two-Michelin-star restaurant, which is a real moment for the city. And if you loved Burdy's chicken parm sandwich bus, they've opened a new spot on Granville Island now.
If you're hungry today, you've got solid options. Bayside Lounge in the West End is closing at month's end after 47 years, so if you've got a memory there or just want to tip your hat to a neighbourhood fixture, this month's your window. Otherwise, the new Burdy location on the Island is worth a visit if you're in that part of town.
Tonight's got five shows firing up around 7: Sabaton bringing the metal at PNE Forum (Legends on Tour), Disney Descendants/Zombies & Camp Rock doing the family singalong thing at Rogers Arena, Dune Rats and the indie crowd at Fortune Sound Club at 8, and the Burnaby Steelers taking on Richmond at Minoru Arena for hockey at 7 if you're after something local and live. It's a pick-your-vibe Thursday—metal, rock, pop chaos, or hockey. All indoors, which suits the fog just fine.
Stay dry out there.
