You can find Celebration of Light road closure info here. One thing I love about not owning a car and living downtown is that I can get pretty much anywhere I need to go either by walking or on transit. Buses, SkyTrains, West Coast Express, and my own two legs can be relied upon whenever […]

On a sunny day, walking down Robson Street, you can probably spot the VW Beetle that is painted blue and covered in everything from sea shells to jewels, even sporting a fully working fountain on the hood. It has been known to sport a “Go Canucks” now and then, and it always certainly draws a […]

Canucks Take on Bruins Tonight

Comments 4 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Yesterday I was having a pretty bad afternoon; I felt really down and things didn’t seem to be going my way. John got home and while I was going into doting-wife-getting-ready-to-prepare-dinner-for-her-man mode he placed two items on the coffee table, which just so happened to be tickets for tonight’s game. Needless to say my mood […]

Luc Bourdon and the Start of the Canucks Season

Comments 2 by Rebecca Bollwitt

With the way last season ended, many had lost faith in the Canucks and with so many changes over the summer no one really knew what to expect when the puck dropped for 2008-2009. There are those who wanted to sell off their season tickets as soon as they got them, and those who have […]
