I've been living in Vancouver for three years now. I've lived in East Van (Mt. Pleasant), then Fairview Slopes in South Granville and now in the West End downtown, so I've gotten a sense of a few of the distinct neighborhoods of the city. Vancouver never gets old to me, so here are some photos I've taken over the years:

Yeah, I grew up in the Seattle area and now live/study in Vancouver. Should definitely come back, it's changed drastically even in the short time I've been here. It's nearly a completely different city than when I first visited it 10 years ago.

Nice work, man.

I noticed that you and I have lived in the same areas. I first lived around Fairview (Heather and 18th) and then made my way to the Westend (Robson and Denman). I miss those days. Hell, I miss Vancouver like crazy most days.
