The one in the Salish Sea .Which English bay is it, and how did they get a camera in 2023 BC?
Yes. The sea is salty in Georgia Strait.The one in the Salish Sea .
I used to live about 1 block away from English Bay. Loved the area. Could walk there & laze on the beach.

Barclay & Thurlow - used to walk to work down Davy street which was quite the experience for sure! All kinds of interesting people, including some trans people who would be coming home after a night of who knows what. This was in the 70's and boy, was it a fun time.Lived in that area too LOVED it !!!!

I don't recall that particular situation but I didn't live there very long. I moved to Vancouver in 1971 or 72 and moved to Calgary in 1974. My brother got married in Calgary and my husband was a best man and I was a bridesmaid. We got together after the wedding & eventually got married and ta da - we'll be celebrating 47 years in July. Who'd a thunk he'd put up with me that long LOL. If it wasn't for that, I'd likely still be living in Vancouver or thereabouts anyway.Yes .the seventies... what an era that was. Same time frame for me. Did you see the barge that ended up in English Bay ?? I made a special trip to see it.;-)
Remember the wonderful sunsets on EB??? Awesome.
The Commodometer Ballroom hosted the best acts long before the 70’s . Loved the floating dance floor .I always thought BC would be a great place to retire. But the place I thought most picturesque in my limited travels was Vernon. But you can do a google street view visit of the place and it's just your typical urban sprawl. Same goes with another place I travelled through in the summer of '72 (at 17) - St. Cloud, Minnesota. Like Vernon, it was so damn pretty, yet your google street view tour will get you the same "progress" showing urban malls and acres of parking lots. Sad really.
Lived in the Gastown Hotel after I exhausted all my allowed stay in Vancouver's 7 or 8 transient hostels at the time. Delivered flyers for Peachy Advertising. Got to deliver free samples to homes all over the lower mainland, like Irish Spring soap, and Dr. Pepper - new products back then.
Lived in the Yale Hotel for a number of months while I worked at CPR's Drake St. roundhouse and maintenance shops. Saw Canned Heat play in a little hall above the stores on Granville, called The Commodore. yep, definitely had the time of my life there.
I better stop or I'm apt to get on a train. lol
She kissed me once. West Berlin, 1984.My friends and I went to The Cave in Vancouver where we saw Ike & Tina Turner in concert. RIP Tina
