The very talented Jane Sage is letting me use this picture she took on Queanbeyans Crawford Street.

She had this to say

That photo was taken Saturday morning on Crawford Street, downtown Queanbeyan.

Its actually called the Crawford St Lifestyle Precinct.

They’ve spent a bunch of $$ doing up the street and its looking pretty good.

The Royal Hotel got a face lift which is worth a look if you ever went into the old one.

I love my town but it was too hilarious not to share my mockery.

It’s nice to have options isn’t it?

geez…..you guys have to get as life. Crawford St work is the best thing that has happened to Queanbeyan in the last 40 years and this is just a piece of advertising.

Maybe they should just convert it back into a payday loans biz? The large amount of pavement, non-painted-over windows (The Warehouse looks like it’s preparing for an about-face) and modern, light, stylish pubs with good kitchens (The Royal) is making me feel alienated.

Totally unsuitable for tea-rooms. Obviously.

Maybe it’s like Amsterdam?

Mr Evil said :

A Coffee Shop sells coffee, biscuits and cake: a Cafe sells coffee, biscuits, cake, sandwiches and pies?

In the US, a coffee shop is another name for a diner and refers to a place with a fairly comprehensive (albeit largely fat fried) menu and table service. So the coffee shop would have sandwiches and pies.

I thought ‘cafe’ was a bit out of fashion these days. Places seemed to have dropped the ‘Caffe” from Caffe Latte too in recent times, which makes a lot of sense.

I’d also say the sign is subtly mocking potential tenants…

So if a coffee shop or a cafe business doesn’t turn out to be profitable there then can the tenant sue the landlord for misleading advertisement?
