Not only are they playing Christmas music in retail stores but I have actually seen Christmas lights on some homes. Maybe it is the political and economic climate that is stirring in people the desire for hope and peace. Perhaps it is the fact that Christmas seems to come earlier every year and this is okay ...

WARNING: There has been a pirate sighting in Stanley Park.

Apparently visitors riding the annual ‘Ghost Train' not only spotted these heathen sea bullies, but they were spooked by the sword fighting, rum guzzling, blood thirsty lot!

  Every year around Halloween Stanley Park hosts a haunted outdoor event such as ...

Contrary to any images conjured by the name, Tea Swamp Park is no wetland. It is a beautiful, peaceful little park that doesn't see a lot of traffic, and it's perfect that way.

There are beautiful trees, beds upon beds of flowers, and peaceful benches. Locals like to sit on the benches and just take it all in.

Tea Swamp also has a small playground, and there are ...

Nestled in between Main and Cambie, along sixteenth avenue, Mount Pleasant Park offers a playground, monkey bars, and a community center with a pool.

The swimming pool is outdoor, so is only open during the summer months (when the city workers are not on strike, that is). It's a small pool, with grassed areas inside the fencing. It makes a nice ...

Anyone who has ever watched The Simpson's will appreciate seeing a real live Kwik-E-Mart right here in the lower mainland.

Yes it's true, you can buy pink donuts, just like on the show, and they temporarily renamed their Slurpees 'Squishees' just like on the show.

Why, you ask? It's part of a marketing campaign for the new Simpson's Movie. The movie is set to open on July 27, so ...

Vancouver is renowned for being a lush, green city. With the kids out of school, and tourist season kicking into full gear (if you doubt me, just hit Robson street on a Saturday afternoon), I thought it would be a good time to do a series on our wonderful parks.

Looking outside today, it's hard to imagine the long sunny days of summer, but I assure you, they are on their ...

Last year we went to a free one day open house event at the North Vancouver Outdoor School. Though slightly rainy, we enjoyed a free day filled with paper making, kayaking, archery, and roasting bannock. All of this at a school campus nestled in the trees; beautiful and peaceful.

This year promises to be a beautiful sunny day, and the event will be even more spectacular.

Then event will ...

Hey ladies,
As promised, here is another one of my ongoing descriptions of places for girls who like girls.
Now it may not seem like much, being just a local neighbourhood pub, but Avantis on the Drive has a lot to be said for it and I will say it here for you:
o New flat screens TVs for watching your favourite sports & a juke box
o Very reasonably priced and decent pub food ...
