Here are a few pics of Vancouver from 1966. From the 19th floor of the B.C. Hydro Building. The Port of Vancouver with Second Narrows and Burnaby Mountain in the background. The view of downtown and Coal Harbour.

A little while back I introduced you to the epic public art project, the Vancouver Biennale, which is taking place over 22 months in the city.

I've always driven by this spot and felt sad that I couldn't skate it, it's just a bit too rough. So when I drove by the spot on the weekend and saw this, I had to stop to take a couple photos.

While my first love is swimming in our amazing ocean (I have yet to follow Calen's lead ), there is also something super awesome about swimming in a huge pool right beside the ocean.

Way back when I was in high school, in the glory days when my stomach could digest cheese and wheat and even garlic, I would take the bus down town to go buy cassette tapes and dollar slice pizza.

I don't know if it is the airport or transit that is responsible, but this vertical garden was amazing to see at night time. The whole wall is living. It is one of the walls of the new Canada Line stop at YVR. No skunks living in it, yet.

Earlier this week I wrote an OPEN LETTER to the Vancouver Park Board asking what the deal is with these houses that are in all the parks around town. Today one of the Park Board 's commissioners, Sarah Blyth, was kind enough to offer us some insight.

I found this little nugget the other day, and it made me stoked. In 1976, Vancouver hosted the UN Habitat Conference on Human Settlements, all about urban settlement issues.

Yesterday the zombies were out in brain-eating force. I didn't count, but it seemed like a couple thousand zombies took to the streets, starting at The Vancouver Art Gallery. See tons of more photos on flickr .

Over the next couple of years the Vancouver International Biennale will be creeping it's way into our city.
