A few months back I made a post introducing you to MONTECRISTO magazine, a lifestyle quarterly in print focused mostly on Vancouver stories, “designed for the discerning, cultured Vancouverite”. It’s cultured but it’s not inaccessible, the stories within it’s pages are super interesting and relevant to people like us who live and love in this city of ours.
The new issue came out yesterday and the nice folks over there are giving you an exclusive sneak peek at some highlights of the content...
