Every Wednesday our friends at The Georgia Straight give us something new to share with you here on the blog: a preview of what you’ll see on the front of – and inside – their paper the next day. As you likely already know, they’re the source for lifestyle and entertainment stories in Vancouver. Along with their robust online presence they release a printed publication which is distributed all over Vancouver each Thursday.
This issue is the 2,428th and on the cover this week is Dancing on the Edge. Choreographer Vanessa Goodman sets loose hundreds of balloons at Dancing on the Edge.
They're also running the Georgia Straight’s 19th annual Best of Vancouver survey. Find the ballot online at Straight.com/bov.
