#Senakw #Vancouver buildings move closer to occupancy. First group of ~6,000 rental homes for ~11,000 people. Easy walk or roll to BC's two largest job centres, plus parks, ocean, beaches, transportation, shopping. Fabulous. We need a lot more of this.

Sylvia and I took a spectacular walk on the seawall today and stopped for this scene.
For those not quickly flipping past, notice the Sylvia Hotel, bikes on Beach Avenue bikeway, palm trees, a crow, the building with the Douglas Coupland paint job and the Laughing Men sculptures.

Another #Barge at #Vancouver's Sunset Beach, hauling away a derelict sailboat. I counted 4 boats, 11 people, 2 cranes and a barge. It's always busy on the water there and always fun to watch.

West 10th Ave. in #Vancouver, where emptiness goes to find a friend. Empty storefronts, empty sidewalks and this, where a public garden sits in the empty parking lot of an old Safeway now awaiting redevelopment.

We took a walk on the seawall today. It was Sylvia's idea, and she said: "Now I don't feel like such a slug".
The Park Board Special Hardy Daffodils (tm) are blooming thanks to a mild January.
