Photo credit: uncleweed on Flickr Instant blog posts are contained within the Tourism Vancouver “100 Days of Summer” guide. They have cheap thing, interesting sights, and fun for the whole family. Let’s see what they recommend today: “July 28 – HSBC Celebration of Light – CANADA – FREE – Fireworks at English Bay. [Tourism Vancouver]” […]

Image from BustedTees Well maybe more would do the trick but I’m talking about more diversity. We have several group blogs in this city. Metroblogging, that is a part of a 50-city worldwide network, Beyond Robson, that is a part of the Fresh Daily/BlogTO family, and Urban Vancouver is the aggregator and Vancouver forum on […]

The Discovery Channel being one of the only reasons John and I flip on the tele, I know that Shark Week is coming up. Yesterday on CNN (okay I guess another reason) they were interviewing a woman who filmed her own shark attack, and this morning on CFOX they had a dude from the Vancouver […]

Maybe it was the garbage strike, maybe it was just too nice a night to sit about in a giant crowd, but there were certainly fewer people out on the beaches tonight. It was the kickoff of the HSBC Celebration of Light and Spain did a pretty good job of making the crowds ooh, ahh […]

Last week I wrote about the possibilities of job action regarding city workers in Vancouver and surrounding areas. After the word came down on Thursday, several municipalities are coping with the cutback in service. Vancouver’s outside workers have walked off the job and the inside workers are planning the same.

That’s all fine and dandy […]

I’ve been through garbage strikes in this town before, and they’re not pretty as no one would expect they would be. I’ve also been to Toronto during a heat wave AND a garbage strike in the middle of August and well, I think it actually made the town smell a little better. All joking aside […]

retrocactus on Flickr The whole gang is back and Episode #38 of The Crazy Canucks podcast is now available for your listening pleasure – that’s right folks, even in the off season we’re still alive and kickin’. …[we] go over the recent moves by the Canucks on the free agency deadline. We also look around […]

Every single workday I walk through hoards of tourists all crowded around the steamclock in Gastown. On the 15’s, 30’s and 45’s it lets out a little toot and on the hour it plays its little steamy whistles for about a minute. Now, I’ve unveiled the “true” steamclock in a previous post and I for […]
