In this video clip, I lay out the boundaries of the Kitsilano neighbourhood, discuss a little Kitsilano history (from campsite to rooming houses to hippies to yuppies) and end with the current demographics.

Autumn in Stanley Park
November 8th, 2006 Categories: Coal Harbour, Vancouver Real Estate
The fall in Vancouver can be quite mild, and these past few days have been perfect for brisk walks along the seawall and through Stanley Park. The winter rains are coming now, but on a clear day, these paths that the City of Vancouver Parks have outlined can be followed directly from the Coal Harbour recreational paths. Here’s part of the city’s map that shows its relation to the Coal Harbour area.
To view or print out the full map, go here to the City of Vancouver Parks site. You can find a lot more info on Stanley Park there as well.

I’m standing around the same spot here in this video:

Flowers at the Market on Yew Street
November 1st, 2006 Categories: Kitsilano
Whenever I walk down Yew Street it is such a lift to see the flowers for sale outside at the corner market. Rain or shine, they brighten any Kitsilano day.
