If I remember, the railroads have one of the strictest no phone policy? But good luck catching peeps

Oh the strictest. That’s why I’m posting the video now. It’s from like 2014 or something

Show us the video where you do some Tom Cruise sh*t and run from one boxcar to the next while fighting a bad guy.

An NHL player that (accidentally?) publicly shared a video of cocaine on his Instagram account.

Talk about a major eff up or snafu

That unmanned lunar probe landed on its side. Only worked a few days.

amazing pictures. some day birding will be one of my old man hobbies. can't wait to get a fishermans vest too, cause of all the pockets and practicality.

Maybe I'm getting old, but that sign looks cheap like some Aliexpress knockoff. It might've looked okay without the lights - those little nubs make it look like it has a warts outbreak.

Personally, I like something more tasteful like the one in Amsterdam:

when i was dt for a convention there was a huge line up to take a pic with it. makes sense as a tourist, you get the backdrop of mountains, harbour, etc.

Ironically they took down the Amsterdam sign years ago because they were sick of the selfie-taking insta drones hogging up all the space from locals.

EvoFire 02-28-2024 09:52 AM

A lot of European cities have a sign like this, Munich and Nice both had it. Though the Vancouver one does look a little tacky

Backdrop with mountains is awesome, no argument there, but the sign itself could be better. Way better.

C'mon, Vancouver, we could do better.

GLOW 02-28-2024 10:24 AM

maybe they were trying to get theatre (or peeler :lol ) style lettering w/ lights on it.

i know it's not east van, but i'd rather have an E.Van cross there than those letters :lol

Manic! 02-28-2024 10:43 AM

Nanaimo has a sign also.

Some people love to complain about it. it cost too much or it's a danger to children.

hehe can come take a poop next to that sign, put the O in Nanaimo

underscore 02-28-2024 12:05 PM

The Nanaimo one looks great, and I know it's a stupidly minor thing, but it irks me that the bottom wedge in the O is narrower than all the others.

Damn nice pics you got there. Yeah it was only my 2nd time going the first being right before COVID when they didn't have any reserve system. What's the best time of you to visit you reckon? Both my visits were in February.

Made up reasons because the real reason they hate it is because of the rainbow colours

MG1 02-28-2024 02:29 PM

For the love of Katherine Houghton, I just encountered VPD's version of Nikki Heat at Grandview Hwy, Canadian Tire. I know pics or it didn't happen............. yeah, stop a cop and say, "Hey, can I get a photo of you for RS?" Mind you, she could handcuff me and I wouldn't mind............. handcuffs, nuff said.
