I have fond if somewhat blurry memories from my DT bar-hopping days of using the armored car bays along Grafton St as rain/snow shelters late at night while waiting for a ride, and also of chatting up the young ladies who worked clearing cheques when they popped out for a smoke/coffee break. That was a good vibe for me.
