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.

VIDEO: Side-by-side Skytrain trips, 27 years ago and TODAY

June 16, 2013

Here’s something you might not have expected looking at a 4 minute video clip of a Skytrain ride 27 years ago next to the same trip today: there are actually more trees now. More towers and development and humans, which the urbanist crowd will enjoy seeing, and with it more greenery.

Canadian Design Resource Week 13: Stussy From the North With Love

June 13, 2013

Each week we sift through the nearly 8,000 entries that our friends at the Canadian Design Resource have made since 2005, selecting one particularly awesome Vancouver-centric design that they’ve featured and sharing it with you here.

Showcasing west coast style with First Nations-inspired graphics, the “From The North With Love” line was released in May 2011 and was created by the Vancouver branch of the company. Nice to see this global company continually develop locally-oriented product lines.
