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.

BLOWIN UP YOUR SPOT 4: THE CHINESE WINDOW AT GRANVILLE AND DAVIE

May 25, 2009

Located on Davie street and open from 11AM until 3AM, this window is essentially the backdoor for the larger, sit down, Chinese restaurant that is in the same building that faces out onto Granville street. There’s usually 10-or-so different options on the “Pickup only” menu, everything is $4.50 and is served up in about 15 seconds. Seriously. A new drunken late night spot or a cheap lunch/dinner is what your fortune cookie reads today.

If this is your spot, sorry for blowin it up!

LITTLE FISHES

May 24, 2009

Hi everybody, Arlo again.

I got my dad to read through the last few weeks worth of posts on the site and pick out something totally awesome for me to do this weekend and he found Randy’s entry about Capilano River Park and decided it was time to visit the fish hatchery there. Here’s me kickin’ it in front of a tank filled with a few thousand little fishes…

Strath Killas

May 23, 2009

After a schizophrenic Vancouver winter, summer appears to be making a fierce intro. And that means tons of skating. Benny Stoddard posted this Strathcona park sesh recently, and while having evening beers on a stoop last night, this loc-dog Strath sesh was brought to my attention:
