IT IS QUITE FRIENDLY, A LARGE PERCENT SEEM TO KNOW EACH OTHER. THE STAFF IS EFFICIENT AND FRIENDLY, BUT QUICK TO TAKE CARE OF PROBLEMS WHEN THEY ARISE. THEY GIVE RECOGNITION TO THEIR REGULAR CUSTOMERS WHICH IS A NICE FEELING TO BE NOTICED AND APPRECIATED. I HAVE SEEN YOUNG AND OLD COME THROUGH THOSE DOORS AND SIT AND ENJOY THEMSELVES. I WISH FOR THE DAYS WHEN ONE COULD LEAVE A COAT, CIGARETTES, AND CHANGE ON THE TABLE KNOWING IT WOULD BE THERE WHEN YOU CAME BACK. WITH THE DRUGS COMING IN EVERY DOOR IT'S DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHO TO TRUST NOWADAYS. IT FEELS MUCH MORE SAFE IN THE EMPRESS THAN MOST OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE D.T.E.S. THANK YOU ANTONIO AND STAFF.

There are too many seniors that are alone and in need of friendship. I have taken on a pledge to help seniors. I will call it "Hug A Senior Today". In fact, the highest number of suicides is in the senior age bracket. I'm planning to visit Vancouver in about a month and will definitely drop in.
