HAPPY TRAILS

Best wishes to [retiring West End realtor] Rob Joyce. I doubt I would have purchased back in 1992if not for Rob’s confidence that I could do it. Had I not, I’d be in the same position as thousands upon thousands of my neighbours who are struggling because of rat faced (too strong?) greedy, soulless landlords.

I’ll be eternally grateful to Rob, and offer best wishes to the charming Roger Ross. –Victoria Joss

TURN IT DOWN!

Seaplanes full of sightseeing cruise-ship passengers droning over 鶹ýӳevery few minutes, property developers in helicopterslining up their next condo tower: living in 鶹ýӳsounds increasingly like living in an aerodrome. And the world’s Greenest City?... Gimme a break. The hospital copters are essential, and the flights to the Island are acceptable, but the majority is frivolous and self-serving. If you want to do more than just rant, you can sign the petition at . –AԴDzԲ⳾dzܲ

STUMPED

Was surprised to see the tree on Bidwell Street removed. Previously, I saw a city notice stating no trees on Davie and Bidwell could be taken out. Any news on this would be appreciated. –Frank

A BIRD DEED

Recently I saw a bird hanging out in the tall grass just off of Main Street. I called the city and they put me in touch with O.W.L. Rehab. Volunteers Anglela and Caitlin were there in 10 minutes – I mentioned happy hour was on, but no they were there solely for the bird. It was a seagull named Louis – not their speciality as they look after raptors, but they scooped him up anyway. He was likely dehydrated as he put up little struggle, and they took him away to have some electrolytes and maybe give him a cleanup. Thanks for your work! –AԴDzԲ⳾dzܲ

VANCOUVER’S WORST BUS ROUTE?

I knew it would be the 20 and I haven’t ridden it in years. –Sarah Leary

The No. 8 Fraser beats them all. I’ve seen men fighting men, men fighting women, women fighting women, people fighting imaginary people, panhandlers, barfing, urinating, defecating, shooting up, smoking crack/cigarettes/cigars/misc, people drinking paint, people covered in bed bugs, chronic masturbators, rats (actual effing rats), syringes and bloody feminine hygiene products. All packaged neatly into the No. 8. –Christopher Raymond

What about the 14, 16 and 95? I have to take them every day and it is outrageous the shit that goes on. I feel bad for the drivers. –Bobby Long
