Thrifty shopping galore


I grew up buying my clothes at the Value Villages and Salvation Armies of the world. This ingrained in me several crucial things.
First: the need to define and create your own style.
Second: the value of a dollar.
And Third: the thrill of finding something you love after having to really hunt for it.

I’m sure there are a million and one blogs out there documenting the many suave places ...

Unique Lives & Experiences


Unique Lives Starting tonight and continuing on and off until June 6th, 2007 the unique lives and experiences series presents influential female (and sometimes male) speakers on stage to talk about their lives and work.  In the Vancouver the event is hosted by our very own Orpheum Theatre http://www.city.vancouver.bc.ca/theatres/orpheum/orpheum.html
The theatre itself is worth a visit just to admire the beautiful architecture, and to ...

New Plans for Waterfront Soccer Stadium



Build it and he will come. David Beckham, I mean.

Okay, maybe not. The former England midfielder may have signed to play in North America, but it is doubtful he will ever make his way up to Vancouver. Regardless, our Whitecaps are still setting their sights high for future success: a new stadium.

First proposed in October 2005, the Whitecaps Waterfront Stadium was slated to be built above the railway tracks alongside downtown’s ...

Hoofing at Harbour Dance


So… lately you can’t help grooving to Justin Timberlake’s unbelievably catchy tunes, practicing that foot move (you know which one I’m talking about) under your desk. And, you’ve been thinking that Madonna’s “Hung Up” video truly does offer the best smorgasbord of dance moves seen in the last decade, and you’ve got a sneaking suspicion that since she looks so smoking hot doing them then, reasonably, you would too. And ...

Tinseltown Vancouver



Called "Hollywood North", it is only fitting Vancouver has its fair share of movie theatres. But for a quiet night out, just follow the neon glow to Tinseltown. Found on the third floor of the International Village mall, you'll find this theatre far less busy than other cineplexes, the movies second-run blockbusters to the less-hyped not-to-be-missed. On your way to one of 12 rooms inside, you'll pass through dimly-lit hallways lined with ...

Worthwhile Reading for any Vancouver would-be adventurer


Jack Christie's Day TripsJack Christie is a name well known to Vancouverites...depending upon the Vancouverite I suppose :) However his books, most notably the one shown to the left 50 Best Day Trips From Vancouver, are invaluable assets both for Visitors to the city and for locals who feel they may not have explored the outlying areas of the region to a satisfactory degree.

I have ...

Start and Finish Your Day at Cypress



Forced awake at 7 am on a Saturday to catch the first run at Cypress, I find myself groggy but enthused. At 8:20, the parking lot is already filling up. At the top of the Eagle Express chair, I see why: surrounding mountains caked with snow, freshly fallen flakes twinkling in the sun, riders' smiles brightening up the hill that much more. An easy ride part-way down Panorama green run, I stop at a ...

Radha Yoga and Eatery in Vancouver


yoga.JPG 

One of my favourite places to kick back and relax in the city is Radha Yoga and Eatery.  It’s a yoga studio with a full service restaurant serving delicious vegetarian meals.  The food is delectable, healthy and nourishing, dished up when yoga classes aren’t running.

Live music pervades the room on weekend nights, as well as during brunch on Sunday’s.  Special events are always happening and usually ...
