Does it have a pie shop the quality of Elaine's Pies, next to Canty's bookstore in Fyshwick. I find myself there for a browse through the cricket shelf and a pie no less that twice a week these days...

I never had the pleasure of Elaine's pies - I feel like my six years in Canberra were now incomplete...
