What happened to the Goof? Ever since the renovation over a year ago, the Goof just hasn't felt like the Goof of old. Sure the food and the staff are still the same, but that 50's style Canadiana diner feel has been replaced with a more modern upscale feel more appropriate in another part of town. Gone are the the old padded booths along the west wall and the front window and the long diner style counter along the east wall where you could watch them cook your breakfast while seated on a stool reading the daily paper with a coffee. The 25 cent style table top juke boxes in every booth, gone too without a trace. All replaced with dark mahogany wood booths along both walls and in front of the new giant floor to ceiling plate glass window. The kitchen is now hidden in the back behind a tile wall with a running waterfall! Sure the menu is the same, but half the fun of going to the Goof was to soak in the neighborhood diner atmosphere with your homestlye meal. Now the food just feels out of place and so do I. Am I the only one that feels this way?
