I'm from Van and when folks there tell me why they don't like TO I suggest maybe they just don't like big cities. They are aghast pointing out that they live in Vancouver after all. 😐

Specially when we consider that the sidewalk is much more then simply a way to move from A to B. The sidewalk is where we get to interact and experience the city and its people.

Bike to Wards, objectively one of the better beaches on the island. Post up in chairs we forgot to air out from last week. Drink beers from collective arts.
