OT: Vancouver People

Last week, an earth quack, this week, an Olympic Village beaver.

Beavers resurfaces in Vancouver's Olympic Village

Seems suspicious. Can't see how a couple of beavers can afford to live there.

They must have been saving for quite some time, esls. Besides, you can always find beavers close to banks (of rivers).

Hongcouver is a thing of the past.
it's Mainland West Side now

but that growth in 'value' (ie. taxable asset base) also explains why the governments will pay lipservice to curbing foreign buyers, but won't

So I talked with officials in Victoria today about implementing a program I developed. It was pretty cool.

You're welcome, BC!

Related, my apologies.

Did you actually travel to Victoria, eloco? Congrats on getting your program implemented.

No, we just talked over the phone. If I traveled to Victoria I would have had to get beers with some of you guys. Though it would be hilarious that I would be there since the 'Nucks are playing in Washington tomorrow.

Then again, I could have brought my Caps' jersey, told people I thought the game was in Vancouver and that it was a huge error, and maybe gotten some free beers.

played tour guide for cousins from Italy over the weekend and it definitely puzzled them that there were so many pot shops yet you had to go to a government store to buy wine for dinner ... we didnt discuss the group sex thing though lol

Hutchinson: Group sex, illegal pot get OK in Vancouver, but wine in grocery stores? No way

Not good.

Canucks still rule the roost as far as local sports teams go (surprised the Lions are ahead of the Whitecaps).

lol

the homeowner actually did a commendable job fixing up the interior ... looks at least livable ... but with that exterior ... ooof ... why not just post 1 picture of the exterior with a bulldozer parked next to it instead of the other 16 photos

my cousins from italy were gobsmacked at housing prices as we drove around doing the sightseeing thing
