Things I Love: This City
byLeading up to that special day that Hallmark created for us this Thursday, I want to feature things that I love, or maybe even just like-like a lot. Sure, my husband, family and friends are a given but these are some of the intangibles, some things that honestly, I wouldn’t be able to be without every day.Part Three: Simply, this City.
Things I love about my city. It ain’t perfect but dang it, it’s home.
“I began to realize that Staten Island was like a quaint European country, the music was twenty years behind and you could smoke anywhere you wanted.†[SATC] – I kid 🙂
I’m going to meet my mother for breakfast, but I’ll be adding to this list throughout the day. That is unless I get cut off in a crosswalk by a car that fails to stop at the stop sign, or someone pokes me in an eye while carrying their umbrella under an awning. Watch for a more sappy, tear-jerky post on February 25th, when it will be our 2nd wedding anniversary.

“Bus drivers that are helpful and courteous that make you want to shout out a little ‘Thanks!’ when you reach your stop.”
Where do you take the bus? I thought this post was about Vancouver…
Hey what about us geeks? lol I’m not a nerd.
I like Vancouver, in fact I am looking for work in the downtown core I like it so much! I do spent a lot of time there now since the GF lives just off of Denman.
I do agree with Micheal Kwan’s issues about hour highway system though. I’ve spend a good deal in California in the past few weeks and I LOVE their highway system. Not only that, I can actually see where the lanes in the road go when its dark or dark and raining!!
And amongst the things that WE love, is the fact that YOU live in this city and that YOU blog about this city. You’ve become an icon of the Vancouver blogosphere. Happy Valentine’s !
@Keira – yeah I forgot to note that only happens once every 6 months 😛
I love the lousy highways and the transit (despite it’s shortcomings)- especialy the Seabus and the drivers are nice about 1/3-1/2 of the time.
And don’t tell anyone but i’ve become a total Bay shopper – it’s my emergency escape plan for anything i seek from Korean pearl inlaid jewelry box to Sennheiser headphones to my sweeet new vintage Canucks sweater. I even have a rewards cards AND a HBC credit card.
I shop at the Bay too, usually for jeans. They have a pretty varied selection, and usually something is on sale.
Thanks for meeting me for breakfast. I hope you are feeling better.
Have to say, I love some of my bus drivers too! Especially on the Community Shuttles. I even know them by name, and heard all about their wives and kids. 🙂
