High Atop Grouse Mountain

A winter wonderland is just a short way from Lonsdale Quay and North Vancouver. Partake in winter activities such as skiing or snowboarding. I just came to enjoy the scenery ans snap up some pix.

I Find the Edmonds Area Interesting

When I passed this area on the Sky Train, I saw some interesting buildings that I needed to snap up. However, the main reason I stopped here was a little cafe called 50s Burgers. The area is mostly a mix of high rise apartments as well as some low to medium density housing. Lots of wooded parks nearby too.

Yew Street

Rising steeply from Cornwall Ave. across from Kitsilano Park, we find Yew Street. Not sure why I decided to stray from the beaten path and venture a few blocks up this street. I some some things that looked interesting here. Yew street is an eclectic mix of cafes, shops and taverns. Snapped up a few of these on the few blocks I saw.

False Creek Hike- Segment II

This segment of False Creek picks up at Habitat Island and goes to Granville Island. Here we find Vancouver’s $100,000 question: “Should I Be Worried?”. Can also get a glimpse of the Granville Bridge as well as some pricy waterfront apartments and condos. I haven’t checked how much they cost, but generally waterfront + Vancouver = Expensive.

Should I be worried post in Vancouver
The sky is getting awful dark to the north, maybe I should be worried. The people in the canoe really should worry

This vis the kind of home I want. However,I’m sure its out of my range.

Science World- Where False Creek Ends

After a brief visit to the Broadway and Commercial area, I start my hike at the sorce of False Creek. Here we find Vancouver’s iconic geodesic dome, Science World. Since there are many pictures I took on this venture, it will be broken into several posts. This segment will be from Science World to Habitat Island.

Commercial-Broadway Station

Decided to start here today. Saw some interesting houses. The item I most sought after was a very old school Safeway Sign. I spotted it from the train and had to get a picture of it. Found some other gems while hiking around the block.
