I'll put on my cranky old lady hat again and complain about all the dang posters blocking the windows of restaurants. This is particularly egregious around Whyte and looks soooo cheap. I mean, yeah, ok, I know what a donair and french fries look like. I do not need a poster blocking the window showing me said donair and fries. Nosh might not be as bad but it could certainly be better.

There used to be a travel maxim that said “never eat in restaurants with pictures of food on their menus or on their windows”.
