About
This is a real restaurant[www.google.ca] in Charlottetown P.E.I., a not-really-Chinese Chinese food restaurant. It's been around since the early 70s - and I tell you, they have the best egg rolls this side of Montreal, even still.

This was another backlog project that I was able to get around to finishing. Nothing to it. It's a stand-alone. Small towns aren't small towns in North America without that one, good not-really-Chinese Chinese food place. This is an iconic spot in my town - as much a part of it, and almost as prominent, as the Confed Centre, Province House or Victoria Park, imho. It's also plausible they haven't changed the wallpaper inside this restaurant since the mid 1970s, which is fantastic.

It's not quite to scale with the actual building, but that's so it fits the C:S 2x2 footprint. It snugs on the right side to anything placed beside it - but not on the left. It's on a corner irl.

If you see anything busted here, please let me know.

Thanks again. Source files are here[drive.google.com].

Hello!

I just found the real Canton Cafe while doing an errant search of Charlottetown, and was reminded of this as I had forgotten it was there.
Despite being a city-slicker kid from California, I've taken up a fascination of PEI on account of writing a story about a catastrophic pandemic (idea is genuinely from 2018) that, among other things, results in Charlottetown being the capital of Canada 200 years from now. (think Stand Still, Stay Silent if that's familiar to you.)
I've told a Canadian I know about this, but on virtue of them being from Halifax lacks PEI experience.

@seanmarshall1 - Timmins, eh? A northerner in a northern land. The Canton's still open in Charlottetown - but the original owners retired, sadly, a few years back, which was a blow to us all here. It's hard to beat these spots, for me it's their dependency and consistency. You're absolutely correct.

Every town in Canada has at least one of these - my father's first job was at London Cafe in Timmins, which this reminds me of. Nice!
