A big walk around Vancouver featuring Granville, Gastown, Chinatown and Canada Place
…and all of the John Fluevog shoe stores we could find.
(all two of them)
Graffiti all over the pay phone; 10th and Granville, Vancouver
Cool reflections in the store window, Vancouver, Broadway and Granville. I really like this picture. It’s confusing, familiar, abstract and geometrical. #urban #street #art #photo #Vancouver
Granville Loop Park, just south of the Granville Bridge, Vancouver
Vancouver gum all over the street, Granville and Nelson. Vogue Theatre in the background
The Fluevog shoe store 837 Granville street, Vancouver
Park your car. Drive Fluevog
I really dig Fluevogs. They are fantastically well designed and well made shoes and boots.
My nice new Fluevog CISL Radio’s in Blue Purple. (from the Fluevog website) “True to his Canadian roots, John broadcasts another hip style in the modern Radio family with the CISL. Named after Vancouver’s soft oldies station broadcasting at 650 AM, CISL is one of Canada’s few remaining music stations on the AM dial. Featuring a modern twist using laser etching on the nostalgic wingtip motif with grosgrain (word score!) piping, an upturned toe, and a tunite heel & sole, The CISL will bring you the smooth, sweet tunes of yesteryear. Tune in, Turn on, and Vog out!”
A piece of Vancouver sidewalk infrastructure covered in student art from Emily Carr University of Art and Design. This thingy happens to be by Mark Illing, the nice artist we bought a print from yesterday. “WRAP A student / community project”

I really enjoyed living in Bellingham, WA in the early 1970s and being able to visit Vancouver whenever I wished. Some of the scenes you captured were similar enough to those I loved to make the visit through your eyes and camera pretty cool!
Going from Saskatoon, and a nice bike ride through there. Lunch in Kinley, Saskatchewan where we found some vintage treasures and then on to Macklin....
Late night in Vegas and back to the furniture market, ending up at the Tim Burton exhibit at the Neon Boneyard. [caption id="attachment_48148" align="aligncenter" width="800"]...
