And then after that was built, the domestic MLL would be closed to build a new one. She guessed that this might start in the fall, and that's when the shower would be fixed. I was back at the lounge at 9:30pm, and the meatballs tasted better the second time. Neither time was the lounge full or feeling crowded.
If the YVR Cafe isn't going to be larger (or at least the same size) than the YVR Dom MLL, then I anticipate lots of fartlicking in the long lines that will ensue for months, even during early mornings and evenings.
The YYZ Cafe is very, very small compared to the YYZ Dom MLL (granted, the flagship domestic MLL, and arguably, THE flagship MLL). [this is just a comparison]
