ARTvertising 

Artvertising is a form of advertising and communication that typically attempts to persuade potential customers with artistic backgrounds to purchase or to consume more of a particular brand of product or service. Whereas modern advertising developed with the rise of mass production in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, ARTvertising only developed in 1980s through the present utilizing art as primary form of advertising in attempts to appeal to a younger, more hip crowd.
Many new condo building developers are utilizing street art for selling their building's relevance to passers by, hence, ARTvertising may bring a younger crowd of buyers.

Pull A Rover 

The classic hang-out to spend an afternoon for my spiffy friends and I. Pulling a Rover entails lunch at Rockridge Cafe (default time is 12:30 unless duly noted), then proceed to Crossroads, a particularly excellent second hand clothes store where I get half my wardrobe. The next activities can range from meeting another friend, taste tasting at the Market Hall, going to a certain friend's house, taking crazy pictures, prank calling random classmates, or awkwardly running into a boy we all know and pretending like we are so chill.
"so we decided to Pull a Rover on Saturday and ran into Collin. Hay caramelos, much? That was awkward. But on the plus side, I got an awesome belt at Crossroads!"
