Vancouver Is Awesome has come a long way since we first launched back in 2008.

Every Wednesday our friends at The Georgia Straight give us something new to share with you here on the blog: a preview of what you can expect to see on the front of - and inside - their paper the next day.

As the title suggests, this is a photo of a garbage bin with orcas on it. We even make our garbage bins representative of Vancouver! Thanks, Sean for our Daily Photo #1058.
