I probably still have boxes of such things somewhere. Yeah, back in the 1990's we had all kinds of not-politically-correct nicknames for various cables and adapters.

    Unions are necessary to balance out greedy/corrupt employers, and scabs are necessary to balance out greedy/corrupt unions.

    Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

    As predictable as the tide's ebb and flow is new White Rock restaurants opening and failed White Rock restaurants closing. I understand the obvious reasons why some businesses fail: too much competition, high rent, lack of customers during winter or bad weather, razor-thin margins.

    But there's a couple White Rock businesses that seem to be stillborn and I'm curious why:

    • Seed and Stone (a weed shop on west beach) had their sign on a store for months and months, but it never opened. The sign recently disappeared.
    • Chef Tian's (east beach) has had a big sign on the the building for a year, but has never opened.

    I'm presuming that both businesses spent money on a lease and spent money putting up signs, so I'm curious what prevented them from opening.
