A visit to the tri-cities

Made a visit to the tri cities a.k.a. Port Moody, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam today.

SHARE'd

1st stop was the Share'd thrift shop in Port Moody (west side of town on the north side of the main drag).  A nice medium-sized store.  Not very crowded at all so nice to browse, but that means fewer things.  Prices o.k., a bit expensive (maybe average for Vancouver) comparable to SA pricing for the most part.  Free street parking and some parking in the lot off the back road.

Crossroads Hospice

Next up was the Crossroads Hospice on Barnet Highway (south side) a little bit before it joins the Lougheed in Coquitlam.  Independent building.  Not as nicely laid out but not too bad.  Prices seem moderate/average for Vancouver.  Parking is a bit tight and you're warned not to park at the neighbouring restaurant.

Salvation Army - PoCo

Wandering into PoCo, there's the Salvation Army.  A smallish shop and can be a bit cramp and disorganised.  Average prices.  Street parking.

Eagle Ridge Hospital Auxiliary - PoCo

Close by across the rail tracks is Eagle Ridge Hospital Auxilliary.  Another small shop in a large strip mall.  Not much here so didn't get a feel on prices  Rather dark inside and a bit cramp.  Free lot parking but it may get crowded.






Across Lougheed is the Trinity United Church and its thrift shop. Unfortunately it has limited opening times, looks like Wednesdays and Thursdays so we didn't visit.  Ample parking in the lot.
