Breathtaking, isn't it?

Now, before I go on, let me say that in general, I am shocked to still see general work and even construction happening across the downtown core at this late stage in the game.  From the Alberta showcase to the tents around BC Place, it seems as though many attractions will be ready to go just in time for the start of the opening ceremonies.

FACT OF THE DAY

In 2010, Vancouver had fewer than half the number of murders than it had in 2009.  There were nine homicides within Vancouver’s city limits, down from 19 killings the previous year.

Quote OF THE DAY

“Perhaps it was my silk dress or the new perfume I’ve been wearing lately. When I asked Suzanne Anton what her New Year’s resolution was, she replied, “To kiss a pretty girl!” and pecked me on the cheek.”  – Writer Emily Barca describing her encounter with the lone NPA City Councillor on New Year’s Eve.
