Tea & Two Slices: Float Planes & The Future Of Neighbourhoods
June 11, 2010
by Sean Orr | BR writer Farhan Devji likes Nickelback but didn’t like their numerous references to alcohol and drugs. Wow, it took a lot sooner for BR to spiral into a weird first-year-english-student-minoring-in-religious-studies blog than I thought it would.
Residents take dead aim at float planes. Whoa sweet, you can do that?
“The Coal Harbour Residents’ Association wants the city to refuse a two-year extension application to allow float planes to operate in front of their homes”. Also, I moved in right next to the Steam Clock but now the noise drives me crazy and the steam ruins my view. Is there anyway we can kill that too?
New report recommends 30-kilometre-per-hour speed limit for Vancouver’s Hastings Street. That’s right. Slow down and see the misery unfold in front of your eyes like it was in slow motion. Lock your doors, sit back, and fucking cruise. Read more
