Dear Editor

Downtown New Westminster is a disaster. It has bars, then the the White Mile of bridal shops and the big white elephant at the end, the Anvil Centre, plus a few loan sharks and jewelry shops.

You get a girl with a few drinks, then, if you don’t stop by Shoppers for some family planning, you then visit bridal shops and tux centres.

No great business live in the downtown; with parking meters everywhere, people shop uptown where there is free parking or at McBride at the Safeway there.

Downtown New Westminster, with no free parking, is a dead end.

Then some real dumb people bought condos next to a railway and complain about the noise; it is like moving next to an airport and complaining about airplanes.

If no trains, no trucks, no traffic problem, but no jobs and so no food for the stores, we could all sit in silence and starve to death.
