Barbers
Barbershop in the Broadmoor Village plaza at No. 3 Road and Williams. Straightforward men's cuts and fades for south Richmond locals, with free lot parking and a grocery run available in the same trip.
Somebody who has been cutting the same heads for years is the whole appeal here. Barbering across Metro Vancouver has spent a decade drifting toward appointment-only rooms with names set in serif type. South Richmond mostly did not follow. What survives around Broadmoor is a chair, a straightforward men's cut and a fade for people who live within a few blocks, which is a real category and deserves saying without apology.
The plaza at No. 3 Road and Williams is a neighborhood shopping center in the older sense: a grocery store, a bank, a few restaurants, the services people actually need within a short drive rather than anything a visitor would photograph. Barbershops belong in exactly this kind of complex. A haircut becomes one line on a Saturday errand list instead of a trip of its own.
Broadmoor sits well south of the malls on the No. 3 Road corridor, and the traffic here bears no resemblance to the Golden Village a few kilometres north. The surrounding blocks are largely single-family and townhouse streets built between the seventies and the nineties, which is precisely the catchment that keeps a plaza barbershop working. A shop like this lives on people coming back every five weeks. The whole arrangement is unglamorous, and that is a fair part of the reason it is still there.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
