We only go once in a
while to expensive
restaurants. We like
camping and other
outdoor activities like
hiking. Beer and wine are
still affordable.

Sometimes I go out and
g. have a few beers with my
a: friends. That.is not ex-
_pensive. We have
stopped going to ex-
pensive restaurants. It is
cheaper to barbeque at
home and_ entertain
friends. I cook pretty
good steaks.

I do the same things |
always did. Ambleside
Beach and other parks
are free. Just walking
‘ around Vancouver is fun.
The “Classical Joint” in
Gastown offers great
entertainment for about
$3. I like to read.

We don't go out as
often. On nice days we
barbeque at home.
Luckily, we have a pool
and that’s fun for the
family. I think some
people really go over
board with the moncy
they spend on cn-
tertainment. Once in a
while we will go to a
restaurant.

‘orial,. has found a home
in West Vancouver,
-though it looked for a
while: as if. ‘the -little
alien with the ugly face
might be charged with
loitering.

The manager of the West
Van Odeon, where the
popular movie is being
shown, was told by Mayor

Derrick Humphreys last

week to do something about
the long line-ups for the film

or the mayor would take

matters into his own hands.
One possible action men-
tioned was charging people
waiting with loitering.

Local merchants were
upset at the line-ups because
their customers couldn't get
into the stores, Humphreys
told the News.

Theatre manager Ken Ball
and Humphreys met
Monday and resolved the
dispute, Ball said. The
mayor admitted that theatre
patrons had a right to use the
sidewalk, and Ball will try to

do something about the

problems the line-ups cause.

This includes having
patrons line up in a
municipally-owned lane near
the Odeon called Theatre
Lane.

Though the problem was
supposedly caused by

complaining. merchants,

-Store. owners in the 1500
‘block. Marine

Drive had
mixed feelings about the
movie line-ups when con-
tacted by the News. -

‘Some:.complained about
littering and blocked en-
tranceways, but others saw
no problem. One even said
the movie's popularity was
beneficial.

Ball said he is trying to
contact all the nearby
merchants to try to work out
the problems that exist. |

Glenn Warren, who owns
a stationary shop near the
theatre said people in the
line-ups throw litter and
smear milkshakes on his
windows.

His business hasn't been
affected otherwise because
he closes at 5:30 pm. daily
and E.T. doesn’t start until 7.

Two merchants, Mike
McCusken of the Patio
Shop, and. Margaret Roder
of the Town and. Village
Shop, had no complaints. .

. People break the movie
‘line-ups to get into his store
anyway; said McCusken,
while Roder considered the
movies good for business.

Many people come to the
store because. they. saw
something they liked in the
window while waiting for the
movie to start, she said. .

The major problem ‘was
with the Esso station on the

Theatre janitors try to ff

clean up litter in front of the
stores daily, Ball said.

Chuck Willett, manager of
Shoppers Drug Mart, said
the problem isn’t confined to
E.T. Whenever a_ really
popular movie plays at the
Odeon people block the
entrance and park illegally in
the Shoppers lot.

Because Shoppers is open
until 9, Willett gets the effect
of both the 7 p.m. and 9:15
shows.

Ball said he does what he
can about the parking _

including announcing at the —
that

start of each
parking in the Shoppers lot is
