hidden garden, ashes to beauty

1. Abby and I found a new park to eat our lunches in today. We left via a different staircase and discovered that we had actually been eating on a roof top garden! From the street, the garden's hedge looked just like bushy eyebrows above the apartment windows.
2. A few months ago, my favourite breakfast place burnt down (http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Vancouver+foodies+mourning+Slickity+Chat+Chew/2215220/story.html). The lot has been cleared and sits empty, surrounded by a tall chain link fence. Empty- except for today - four teenagers have cut the fence and are doing skateboard tricks on the foundations.
