Old Lions Gate Bridge in 1987

I was watching this cheesy 80s movie and I instantly recognized a very 80s Vancouver standing in for Cedar Bay, Oregon.

Coolest part is this high resolution look at the Lions Gate with the old deck. Around the turn of the millennium, the deck was replaced completely - moving the pedestrian/cycling lanes to the outside of the structure, adding lookout points under the two towers and widening the three car lanes.

Since the bridge originally only had two lanes of traffic, this specific configuration was very problematic so it was a big deal when that upgrade took place.

The film is called Beyond the Stars, free on YouTube. It has a lot of scenes at Horseshoe Bay too and probably other places I didn't recognize.

Hello to all the men in Vancouver

Just thought I'd check in to see how you're all doing?

It's a suuuuuper gorgeous day out today. If you've havent gone out yet, I ask that you step outside for a full minute and let the sun shine on you because you deserve to feel the warmth.

U.S. border guards have more power to check Canadian travellers' cellphones. CBP officials searched less than 0.01 percent of arriving international travelers' electronic devices in 2025. But that figure could increase as AI speeds up processing times that involve tech deep dives

Free VIFF tickets for today

Sup! I have tickets to The Quiet Applause at 3PM and Smudge The Blades (now on Standby) at 6:15 PM; unfortunately, I am now too sick to go. I don't care about being reimbursed, I just don't want the tickets to go to waste. (Only one per film.) Drop a comment if you're interested! I'm lazy so it will most likely be first come, first serve.

Edit: ONLY THE QUIET APPLAUSE IS LEFT.

Edit 2: Both tickets have been claimed!!
