There also has been a recent flux of Mexicans. What's up with that?

To HECK with the steam clock. Walk a few blocks over and hit my old stomping grounds, the grand old place called the Downtown Eastside and do some hoodrat stuff.

Why, on E. Hastings you'll find such delights as the faboo Amsterdam Cafe, where you can easily...

definitely check out Stepho's on Davie street and Granville Market. Take the gondola up Grouse Mountain (or if you are feeling adventurous and healthy, take the Grouse Grind up and the gondola down) for a fabulous view of the city. Walk on the seawall around Stanley Park. Pick up some pot seeds in any of the stores along Hastings Street. Drive out to Steveston for some fish & chips or go for a walk around Westham Island and see the thousands of snow geese currently migrating through...

I didn't notice, if we go there again, I'll check it out. I was too busy deciding what weird shit I wanted on my Hot dog. They're busy. It took us about 20 minutes to get a hot dog this afternoon.

I'm here now! On Robson Street. I love this city. There are so many people and the traffic never stops. The Restaurants are all great and if you're just walking and feel like a hot dog, you can get a Jap-a-Dog(I think that's what they're called.) Weird stuff on them but delicious. And Sushi, tons and tons of sushi restaurants. But don't try the beef. It isn't Alberta and they really don't know how to cook it that well. The salmon is great though. And there is a...

Oh good. I can stalk! Bring more pictures of shovel girl and the "can you hear me now?" guy.

What do you want to do the most? Shop, outdoor things, eat, and obviously smoke weed.

In addition to the Capilano bridge if you are into that, go to the Lyn Valley Suspension bridge.. way more shaky scary. Not as high up, and no commerical attractions, but it's free, and IMO has more exciting tumultuous water underneath. Capilano isn't as good for dropping your...

Hubby and I are leaving Friday for Vancouver. We are going to see AC/DC there Friday night and we decided to make a long weekend and are spending 3 days.

What's going on in Vancouver? We've never been before. What are the "not to miss" attractions or events? A friend said we should see the aquarium, but I don't know about that.

Where is the best pizza in Vancouver? How about the breakfasts? Everyone knows how I feel about the bacon!
