Like many people who are having their winter, I am missing our beautiful Spring and Summer. I made this slideshow with music last Spring and want to share it with you now as part of my series on living in Vancouver.
This little slideshow is of the neighbourhood known as Mount Pleasant or South Main (SoMa). This neighbourhood once known as a working class neighbourhood has undergone gentrification since the early 1990s. It is one of the up and coming neighbourhoods in the city. It is home to many first time buyers & young urban professionals. On a given weekend when one is out shopping and running errands you will more than likely bump into one of the local media personalities who live in the neighbourhood.
This area got it's local flavour and colour from a former stream. In the late 1800s, early 1900s, the area was known as Brewery Creek due to the number of breweries that set up in the area as a result of the nearby stream. Vancouver's City Hall is also located in the Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood.
Enjoy the tour!

wow, so so beautiful! I need you to give me a tour!!!
what's the music playing?
Thank you, Notes. I'm glad you enjoyed the slideshow. The music is Bob Dylan's "Forever Young", one of my favourite songs :-)
Beautiful slide show.... I long for spring also. Your area is gorgeous. I love seeing all of the green trees, the buildings, and those fancy buses.... Thanks for sharing!!!
We had a little snow here during the night. It was just a dusting --but is pretty.
Hugs,

I so enjoyed seeing the flowers, and the hint of mountains beyond the walls of the city. A thriving community and diversified in its services. What a nice place to live, I think.
