Every week our friends at The Georgia Straight provide us with a preview of what you’ll see on - and in – their paper that week. They are the source for lifestyle and entertainment in our city and along with their robust online presence they've always released a print edition, distributed everywhere each Thursday. This week, as it's Christmas, their publishing schedule is a little bit different and you might see copies of the paper as early as this evening.
This issue is their 2,455th and on the cover this week is The Mainstreeters. Curators Michael Turner and Allison Collins showcase a gang of artists whose astonishing creativity helped transform Vancouver.
Here are some links to stories highlighted on the cover:
