I know its early but a rematch with the Bummers is looming. Its a 2:00 start and a 9.99 buffet at the Starlight Casino from 11-2. I know we are up against the NFL Gorilla but they have 25 screens. BB

Technically speaking, Starlight Casino is in New Westminster, not East Richmond. Queensborough is like Steveston, locals know where it is, but is one of those geographic locations that doesn't technically exist, according to Canada Post and most other courier services.

Huh... I didn't know this, but you're right, NW is partly on Lulu Island. Five minutes ago I would have sworn NW was one contiguous land mass.Canuck_4_Life wrote:Technically speaking, Starlight Casino is in New Westminster, not East Richmond.

This SC place must be fairly new, when I looked up the location on Google maps it just showed a vacant lot; you have to go to the more recent Street View pics capped earlier this year to see it.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Ask Jay for a ride. He seems to know where it is. BBpacific wrote:Thanks for the address. I'll try and figure out how to get there. It looks like I will be there.

I didn't say I was gonna be there, nor do I have any plans on doing so. It bothers me when people tag Starlight as being in Richmond.
I go past it twice a day (or more) when I commute to and from work. Not to mention, I was at Kirin, which is like 100ft away from Schank's, last week.
