Vancouver Is Awesome, and we are dedicated to everything that makes it that way.

If you want to read ugly, bad news about this beautiful city of ours, you’re going to have to look to traditional media and other blogs; V.I.A. promotes everything that makes our city awesome, from old to new and everything inbetween. We’re like the human interest piece on the news… only different.

Vancouver Specials….

November 27, 2008

My favourite Vancouver Special is on Dundas, I pass it all the time en route to downtown.  The sickest thing is that there are two of them, exactly the same, right next to each other.  If Salma and Patty Bouvier were houses….these would be them.  

When the new shirts came out, I thought it’d be a great time to get up off my ass and take a picture of them, posting on this site has been great for me that way….

www.vancouverspecial.com just put me back on my ass, they got like every Vancouver Special in the city here.  It’s broken down to street, style…..it’s mental.

And yep…here they are:
