#2I can see why it's being taken care of. A town with Tide Water access on Canada's west coast could be very very valuable.

#3I missed the "1980s" part at first and expected an article about Google's panopticon-town. What ever happened to that?

#4FYI: This Justin McElroy is a respected Canadian journalist.
He is not closely related to the Justin McElroy of MBMBAM though they do look very similar.

#7BC in the 80s, 90s seemed like completely different worlds compared to today. Vancouver especially seemed to have peaked early 2000s before the housing bubble took off. Rainforest Cafe, Playdium, Indy 500, Vancouver Grizzlies, Canucks.
It had so much going for it. What was once a fun, soulful city is now something completely different.
