Do you answer calls from unknown numbers? For most the answer is "hell no." One B.C. couple went the other way though, and wound up with new friends and a new barbecue. Loved this story so much when I first read it, had to share it again.... โ๏ธ๐ https://t.co/HyPcqLKkuS

Shoutout to @kirklapointe as we run his last @NorthShoreNews column, at least for a while, as he steps away to do other things. His informed and sometimes quite spicy pieces added a real kick to our opinion page. https://t.co/1AEp7971Tp
