    Like your videos. Good quiet relaxing music, unlike some others that have the music way too loud. I used to live in PG. Can't say I miss it. Lot of changes since the turn of the century. Parkwood Place is a joke. Wasn't bad when it was Parkwood Mall. Then a Vancouver architect redesigned it and had tiny Smart Car parking spaces. (This was before Smart Cars were on the road). One stop sign is a joke. You have to pull out into the next intersection to see past the cars parked. I remember the old Niner's Diner on 5th and George, where Crossroads is now. Late 1989, early 90's. That place had some of the rudest waitresses ever. Though I did see a couple of them one evening out when they were drunk. I guess they were going through their 304 phase. Cat ladies today more than likely. Peace.

    some outsider comes in a builds some fancy crap in a toilet bowl and the down town area dose not change. the down town has not changed since the 1960s. they should have put the university down in the old south side industrial area instead of the side of a hill. this would have brought people down town and could have built up the down town area. new apartment buildings stores reopened and so much more. but no that would not have been a good idea to some jug head in the mayor's office

      Hindsight and I guess brains are 20/20. Too many factors, downtown still busy $$$ when the university was constructed. Could have been a game changer if it was built down there.

The University should have gone down south just past Hotel McDonald (courthouse now), Walmart could have gone down to Parkwood Mall (though might have had to customize the mall but better than tarring down our movie theatre and best diner in town). Canadian Tire, left in same spot just needed to buy property around it and build onto it. And the name change of Fort George Park? Like what the hell! Now they have a parking lot and some building on the old Fort George sight and have people walking all over and God knows what over the native burial grounds.
