Troll's Restaurant - Marine Dr, White Rock
White Rock has certainly changed. What was once a one-fish-and-chip-shack town is now a tourist trap albeit a scenic tourist trap - especially along restaurant row on Marine Dr. The parking here is a bitch, but the view is nice. Sorta like Angelina Jolie.
Walked all along Marine Drive and finally settled on Troll's. It's not the greatest of places but it would suffice. The honey lager was good, the seafood clubhouse was not bad. Service was slow, but we had time to kill.
What better time than to reflect upon the changes in White Rock over the last 30 years. Was it all for the best? It's now bigger, but better? As more money is pumped into the local economy, there'll be more restaurants, condos, parking lots, everyday stress. The price of progress? or is there something inside each of us trying to seek a simpler life?

I’d like all of you out there to luxuriate in the delights of White Rock during any weekend - its relaxed atmosphere, sparse crowds, cheap restaurants serving delicious food, the abundant free parking on the waterfront. It’ll warm the cockles of your hearts.
Please, go to White Rock, and leave nearby Point Roberts to the poor schmucks who don’t know any better.
