A trip I made downtown today started off as a quest to update my passport. I’ve never been to the government building here before. However it’s becoming obvious I’m getting more comfortable with driving around Saskatoon. I generally know where most of the places I need to go are now and I’ve almost completely stopped looking at street signs to see where I am. So as I approached the government building based on the address I had, I noticed it was right by Market Mall. However, navigating in this area become complicated with police cars everywhere for some reason. I finally made my way into the mall parkade and headed towards the gov’t building, which also happened to be the same street with all the police. Apparently I had arrived minutes before the Olympic torch was to be run by. So a little added bonus to the trip.

After seeing the torch go by and getting my passport renewed, I headed into Market Mall. I just sold a textbook this morning for $70, so I had some cash to burn. I made about 60% back on the original price of $122. I spent some time looking for a new pair of shoes as my mine are almost completely worn out but to no avail. Since I was at the mall and had some extra cash, I decided to grab some food from the food court. I noticed something strange in the food court at New York Fries specifically.
