My Visits To South Nanaimo

Twice I tried to go fishing off Nanaimo last week but the fog was ridiculous but the charter guy gave me a freebie for Nov. when I go to Grey Cup.
Other than the impressions of the squatters at the Malaspina, I've always thought Nanaimo was a decent place. I've been through and stayed many times. My favourite fishing river is the Cowichan but Duncan is a hole and it was better to stay in Nanaimo.

You have to admit that down town Nanaimo might be a little different "these days".:smile:
When did they finally knock down the old eyesore of the Malaspina? It's been awhile since I've been downtown. I usually just drive from Duke Point and head to places beyond.
That's a fair length of time for waterfront property to sit before finally being developed recently.
Pretty steep (topographically) chunk of property likely requiring $millions to do anything with.
A box of matches and a Jerry can full of gas should have done nicely.
But then on second thought if they demolished it properly they could have salvaged a lot of valuable dimensional lumber and huge beams.
Yep, Nanaimo is sitting on a "honey comb" right from Extension out to East Wellington. Several years ago out in E.W. someone found out their house was being "supported" by a big hole. :lol:
Actually I'm going to start another thread on that very subject.
It's all set up, Petros, in conjunction with building demolition. I'm for creating jobs rather than blowing them up. :lol:
