"I learned that Beaches, the Columbia River-front restaurant in Vancouver, will close at the end of 2024 as owners Mark Matthias and Ali Novinger plan to retire; the restaurant — open since June 1995 and once one of the only open-kitchen restaurants in the metro area — is known for community engagement and long tenure, and the owners hope a new restaurant will establish its own legacy at the location when they depart." - Janey Wong
