Around SBN: Roy Nelson Willing to Pay for His Next Opponent's Drug Test

Happy 125th Birthday, Vancouver!

I have never lived in Van. But I have visited it often. The best times of course where going to Canucks games, hanging out with you punks.. but I'll never forget Expo 86. That was something special. And no, I wasn't there for the Olympics, and I regret it.

 

Here is a quick video tribute to Vancouver. Feel free to share your Vancouver stories in the comments section. Also check out Miss 604.com, as Rebecca is always covering all things Vancouver, including great historic photos and stories.

I don't mean to shit on Van's parade...

I’ve been there, though only once, not during any major event, and pretty much just passing through.

The impression I got… blah. It’s a city. City’s a city.

Too many people. Dirty. Noisy. Bright. Smelly. (All this compared to where I live, not necessarily to other cities).

Give me rural living any day of the week over a city like that. We may not have the amenities, but damn we have everything else.

I live in a rural small town

and I hear this bullshit a lot. Other than amenities what the hell else is there? People in the north and in rural areas think they have the monopoly on outdoorsiness. They don’t. You can drive less than an hour from Vancouver and do pretty much anything you want in a nice outdoorsy setting. That whole “everyone knows everyone” thing sucks balls too. I like a little privacy now and again and it would be nice to meet a girl who hasn’t already dated and slept with 10 guys I know personally. I have never found a town I have lived in where people are nicer or more friendly than in any other place. Generally people are nice and friendly and in a good mood in about the same percentage no matter where you go.

Cities are vibrant, energetic, exciting and they smell different but not necessarily bad. In the rural towns I have lived in it either smells like manure or the occasional blast of sulfur or sour gas. Not exactly the nicest smells. Give me a city any day of the week. Concerts, plays, opera, sporting events, art, great food, etc etc etc. Amenities are where its at.

A nice quiet road somewhere in

the more rural parts of Coquitlam or Maple Ridge or Langley would be perfect for me. A place you find relaxing that is within a half an hour of the big city with the lights and the excitement.

Bah!

Bah, I say!

When I say rural living, I don’t mean a small town. I literally mean there’s no one else around for miles.

You can’t get the privacy I have here, in a truly rural setting, in any city or town. You can’t get the peace and quiet. You can’t get the true darkness at night that lets you see every star without traveling to a non-light-polluted park zone.

And hey, just because that girl hasn’t slept with 10 of your buddies doesn’t mean she hasn’t slept with 10 other random dudes! I hardly count that as an improvement! :p

Here, it doesn’t smell… at all. No sour gas or sulfur. Just clean air.

The world requires both sorts – those of us who detest cities and those who can’t imagine anything else. After all, without us poor, simple rural folk, those city people wouldn’t be eating!

Yeah but

the VAST majority of the food eaten in Canada isn’t produced in rural Canada. So how is that an argument in your favour? It is BS.

I'm not sure where you're getting your facts

But rural Canada produces one hell of a lot of the food Canadians eat.

Also, it does not negate the fact that without rural areas (all over the world), cities would starve inside a month. The fact that we both import and export a great deal of food is a red herring if you’re using it to state that rural Canada doesn’t produce most of the food eaten in Canada. Rural AREAS (worldwide) produce the food Canadians eat. And since this is essentially a rural vs. city debate… that’s what matters.

by Tyr on Apr 6, 2011 2:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

I am getting my facts

from having worked in and having several families who work in the grocery industry. The vast majority of our fruit, most of the meat we eat, most of the grain used in breads and cereals etc etc etc is not from Canada. The vast majority of Canadians can’t afford to, and aren’t aware of the fact that they can, get good locally grown or produced food.

I'm not sure of most meats

but most beef is domestically grown. Much of it is shipped from Canada to the US for processing, then shipped back up here to be sold. Doesn’t mean it isn’t grown here ;)

It’s all beside the point I was originally making, though. Without rural areas worldwide, cities would starve. Indisputable!

Just to jump in.

Its a long time ago, and my own personal experience, for what it is worth.

But I was victim to more “violence” in a small town than ever in the city. Lived in Gastown, off of the supposed worst crime area in Canada, and always felt safe.

In small towns, if you are not “the norm”, or you don’t play along with certain cliques…violence is the way those folks handle their alleged “problems”.

Just me, again, but this “more violence in a big city” argument is pretty specious.

Parties off the hook in after hours places.

Had one of the most legendary parties of the time myself, with “Bootsauce” and a local band with a funny name that escapes me. Line up down 4 flights of stairs. Local celebs flocking to the door.

My best buddies at the time opened up the best after hours inspired by that party…and we kept that going for 9 months, before the local bars got the police involved , because people were leaving before last call to get in our lineup.

Its been gentrified since then. But Gastown IS awesome.

Was behind the Steam Clock.

My friends live /work place was called the “Soul Art Gallery” as a day to day thing.

Friday and Sat nights it was the Blue Soul. Up the elevator in the back ( I was one of two doormen )…did the schtick of which band was playing, and then the line " and yes, it is 5 dollars, and you do pay me ".

We rocked. From Bluegrass Punk to a Diggereedoo player.

Never one fight. Great times.

well,

i’ve lived in the city longer than you’ve been alive and I can’t say i’ve ever been chased by gang, a junkie, a transvestite or a gang of junkie transvestites. I did have a drunk hooker follow me around for ten minutes trying to get me to have a date, but that was obviously cuz i’m so sexy and rich looking, so i give her a pass. I’ve been broken into once(do hate that about the city), but it was my storage locker, not my home.

One thing, whenever i go visit my parents on the acreage, I struggle to fall asleep cuz it’s so damn dark and quiet…

I’ve had a couple run ins with Hell’s Angels in the city but if you treat them normally they will do the same. Never had a run in with any other gang members.

The old City mouse versus Town mouse argument huh?

I loved living in Revelstoke, in retrospect. In actuality, it was a boring small town that I could not wait to get out of.

Moved to Edmonton first. Now THAT is a shithole. Tyr’s picture is exactly as painted. People there were not as friendly as when I moved here Section. Not at all. I was continually fighting and having to, because I had long hair.

Thats it. Rednecks in bars wanting to fight with you because of the length of your hair is not friendly.

Moving to Vancouver, was the night to that day. No one cared about such stuff. People were friendlier. I managed to move here a year before the 82 run. Strangers hugging on the streets.

Through it all, meeting and knowing people in all walks of life, it just seems that people here care about there home city. Its important to us. We know its beautiful like most other cities can only dream of. But we want to share.

That same feeling is how I still see it as we have grown up. The multiculturalism is something else I am proud of. Where a person of a different colour as I am is the norm. Where I often here two or three different languages on a commute on the Skytrain.

We sorta grew up from a sleepy, smaller city after Expo 86 ( best party…all summer…EVAH!), but there were still things to do.

Part of that was losing a little of that home town, “smaller” feeling. You do have more secretaries and waitresses that are ALSO singers, dancers, and “actors” here, because of the Hollywood North aspect.

But, part of what made that industry flourish is the fact that big stars walk down the street like normal people, and we don’t care. Sure, they get asked for an autograph, but not swarmed. They get to be human and live a life.

From working in that industry for 8 years, and talking to some personally ( guys like Will Smith and others )…they marvel at that compared to L.A. They treasure it.

Thats just one of the many cool things of my city. Lived here my whole adult life, got more…but you get the point.

It's crazy

to think how far this city has come, even in the last 10 years. The city has really come into it’s own….the culture, the people….everything seems to be jelling.
I hate how expensive it is to live here, but I wouldn’t live anywhere else. Van will always be home. Beautiful scenery, vibrant downtown, a wealth of activities to do, and a diverse population…..what more could you want?

I moved to Vancouver in 1984 from Victoria

I hate to shit on a meanlingless 125th birthday party but I don’t think much of the city anymore compared to how much I used to like it.

It’s over priced and over rated. The people are faker than LA and obsessed with their real estate values.
The independent spirit that gave birth to Greenpeace and Adbusters is pretty much gone.
Money laundering seems to be the main economic driver.

But then I’ve seen much of the world since 1984 and I’m no longer impressed with YVR.

Happy birthday Vancouver, I’d rather move back to Victoria.

Fair enough

Been a few places too. And have mostly lived D/T over the past almost 30 years.

I have seen those changes, and yes, there are a fee fakes, but mostly, no. Have to disagree on the people, especially. Working in people industries over the years, there has been a few more dicks, but mostly? Friendly and open as 30 years ago. To each his own. I have definitely met the ones that made you jaded though.

Uggghhh

Greenpeace was as much a product of the times as opposed to the location.

The best sports time was actually being here to visit family and being down town in 79 for the parade for the Caps…

Lets hope 2011 is as good.
