new years in vancouver

[Metro-One]

I agree 100% with you on this one Sponge, we need more public events for events such as new years.

Why not make better use of our new Public Plaza at the New Convention centre?

And yeah, the homeless argument gets a little tiresome, for that argument can be used for any non essential expenditure, but those non essential expenditures, whether they are on parks, museums, gardens, lighting effects or public celebrations, bring life and atmosphere to a city. They create business and often come to define a city.

Anyways, on a funny note, half asleep right now for a split second i thought the title of this thread was "new sears in vancouver." My jaw dropped for a second that something was going to be done to our big turd toilet bowl right smack in the middle of our commercial / entertainment / cultural district / major transit exchange.

Oh well, just wishful thinking I guess.
