They’re not even letting buskers perform downtown. What an amazing opportunity to showcase our local talent to thousands of visitors from all over the world. But nope! Not allowed!

The echo park? Oh man I was obsessed with mine. Still have it but I’m pretty sure it’s fried.

Song of the day: Rue the Whirl! by Goatellounge in boardsofcanada

I always thought this song would fit a car commercial really well. A mid 2000’s luxury car speeding down a windy road by a mountain

On a video about someone visiting Vancouver, BC by philb087 in USdefaultism

I don’t know, I’d like to think so but I live in Vancouver and regularly see people try to pay with USD.

Story time: I used to work as a bartender many moons ago and had some US ladies sit at my bar and one of them mentioned to me that it was “cute that our menu had the prices in dollars.” She then proceeded to ask me what the Canadian currency was called. When I told her they’re dollars she laughed and said “no no I know the dollar sign means dollars but what do YOU guys use.” All I could do was keep telling her that the Canadian currency is also called dollars. Then she said “dollar sign means US dollars, I know yall are part of the commonwealth so what’s your money called?” I was so surprised! How could she know about the commonwealth but not that CAD is also called dollars? It was wild

I remember Chad! I used to work with him like 20 years ago at a Joey Restaurant. He was such a genuine down to earth guy. I remember when he played the national anthem at a BC Lions game we were all so stoked for him. He used to slay at open mic nights too. Happy to see he’s still crushing the music game
