Maybe some waitress there wouldn't surrender her little black dress.

Bout time people in PG realise that its no longer the small town in terms of crime.

Anyone thought to head to the airport to see who was on the next plane out of town? I am only guessing, but I expect hitmen from the lowermainland come to PG regularly to do business and head back home the same day.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who these types of visitors might be. Sit at the airport and monitor the passengers and then tie their visits to taking care of business in town. Wouldn't take long to figure things out. But, what would I know? I'm just a simple guy trying to figure things out using a little common sense. Chester

48 hours is all it takes on TV sometimes. But then again, art doesn't imitate life.
