Next time your are feeling shitty like the weather is not great and you are wondering when summer will arrive stop whining and hop on your bike and bike between Fraser Street and Keith Drive on the 10th Avenue bike route. The cherry trees envelop no, engulf the street and the lighting is amazing when you whiz by in the night.If that doesnt make you relax and smile have a little picnic at the bottom of the hill and a drink. Do this soon as the hard rains gonna fall and knock all the big colorful cherry blossoms off. Be careful after a big blow down of petals as they are like grease and will set you on your ass area very quickly.

I viewed the food menu outside ofa cafeat Seymourand Nelsonthen entered the cafe ready to have lunch. I made my way towards one of the tables for two by a window but I was intercepted by one of the staff or owners and was asked if I was alone. When I said yes I was told only two people are allow to sit there, and was informed single people have to sit at the communal table in the centre of the cafe! Obviously, I left, and as a single diner who spends a lot of money eating out every day in downtown Vancouver, I went somewhere else where they welcomed me and my money. Of all the strange rules out there, a cafe banning single people from sitting at the window seats is the most strange. Perhaps that is why there were only six customers.

The biggest effect of the reduction of the speed limit on East Hastings Street (other than reinforcing the tremendous sense of entitlement in that area) has been to turn Powell and Cordova Streets into speedways. There doesnt seem to be any enforcement of the new 30 kph limt on Hastings and there certainly is none on Powell and Cordova, so whats the point of lowering the limit anyway?

The Parks Board has figured out a new way to desecrate the Stanley Park Seawalls natural beauty. The entire distance between English Bay and Second Beach now has large boulders grouped in threes at regular intervals. It appears that they have placed in this unnatural configuration for easy umbrella placement, possibly a commercial scheme. Maybe somebody thinks boutique beaches are cute, but I find this alteration highly objectionable!
