We just received a whole bunch of packages of light beacons from Carmanah in Victoria British Columbia today.

JLM,
Nakusp is a village of 1500. If it was a city I wouldn't be here. Cities are concentration camps to me. Montreal and Toronto are loonie bins and Vancouver is not much better.

I love Vancouver, I grew up not far, in New Westminster, so spent many many
fun days in vancouver, mostly at the beach, or shopping, or just wandering around
stanley park, picnicing, and lounging around, or at the zoo, (glad that is gone).
It is very clean and interesting and beautiful, the scenery is great, travelled the
little ferry to n. vanc'r many times, went to capilano susp bridge, skiing on the
mountains, or just driving around to see the mansions in w. vancouver.
Lots of sporting events, the PNE,(all day in the horse barns as a kid, or outside
eating everywhere, went to the horse races, wandered all through the buildings.
I have great memories of Vancouver. If I had the 'moola', I would buy a nice
apartment, top of a high-rise and just visit now and then for a getaway.

Prostitution and dirty needles come to mind each time I hear Vancouver mentioned.

Thanks for the pic Boomer and the reminder that Vancouver will always be my home town no matter where I hang my hat.
It's a dream site for avid photographers and people in love! To have grown up in this natural playground with a never ending supply of great adventures made a
wonderful childhood for me and my family.
The memories are still inspiring to know nature in her beauty.
Humans have left their marks but the landmark remains a wonder.

So the natural beauty of Vancouver is now wrecked by humanity?
Wonderful - this makes it easy to criticize the city itself for what its residents have done to it.
I guess people can't appreciate caring for what nature provides... especially when their primary goal is staying high.

Anyone can imagine 'anywhere' to be a looney bin, if you can't see very far and don't
look beyond the worst areas, 'they' are in all cities.
I grew up, not far away, and still, when I go to vancouver, I marvel at the natural
beauty, and wonderful places to go and the variety of activities to choose, that fit
all seasons.

Vancouver consistently ranks in the top five worldwide, so obvious it's one of the worlds great cities. Personally I'd take Montral not too far behind Vancouver as it's Canada's most cosmopolitan city.
Toronto has it's areas (not many though)
The true ghetto's are Winnipeg and Edmonton

It's ok as far as cities go I guess. Not a good place to drive around when it snows, though. It rains a bit too much for us, too.A close city I like is Nelson. People still are crazy drivers there but serious crime is pretty low, the people generally know how to drive in snow, housing is affordable, climate is pretty good. Creston is pretty nice, too. Pretty much a match for Nelson.

snow isn't much different than driving on a smooth gravel road.
I've heard the same story from albertans, show me how you drive in wet
snow, before you make fun, totally different conditions.
We've had our few times around here when the snow is dry, 'piece of cake'.

He was in a big shootout with the cops near nakusp quite a few years back when they found his wife dead of a heart attack and thought it was him that did the deed.
