"Carver" Don Hartley , a beloved 40-year member of Vancouver's skateboard community, passed away on July 4th of this summer at the age of 52.

When I'm not heading up V.I.A. my other job is as an art director/curator/producer.

Smoking is bad... we all know that... but sometimes, a well timed pipe or cigar is a welcome addition to a great day. I first went to RJ Clarke Tobacconis t about 8 years ago. I was on the hunt for a pipe tobacco that I'd been looking for for years.

I love a good convenience store and I love made up words. Foodness on Seymour just before Smythe is match made in heaven.

OK the weather's definitely perked up, but still...you gotta plan. Let's say you planned on hitting a bunch of yard sales and suddenly it started raining.

Okay, I found this sign on Main street the other day and instead of simply googling "rolfing" when I got home in order to find out what it is I thought I would put it out to V.I.A. readers for an answer as to what rolfing is all about.
