If you walk out the NW exit of the parkade, there is a door right there that is boarded up. I believe this will be an entrance to the terminal and waiting lounge. It's sort of under where the whale is.

Obviously those are bucket holders. Very complicated, don't have the patience to explain them.

^Haha.

If it is art maybe they're a nod to Coal Habour's industrial past?

Tourist: hey cool, what are these things far?
Local: it doesn't do anything, it's art
Tourist: ok... (walks away)

Golog and I both seem to have made our way down to the convention centre, though the weather above the north shore appears to have been less mercurial when he was there.

It's a SAM site to protect the neigbouring airport and top secret bunker masquerading as a convention centre. The buckets are to hide them as China and Russia have been using Google sat views to obtain their targets.

Thanks for the pics, it's pretty impressive the changes from week to week.

First cruise-ship of the year.

I was going to go down and see that on sunday - next cruise ship is next sunday than they start picking up after that

can anyone walk in that hallway between the two convention centres?

Yes open to the public.
Also has some of the best aboriginal art I've seen so far.

SpongeG · #**2073** Posted **Apr 20, 2011, 8:40 PM**

It looks good to me. I can't wait until the planes move there so that we can finally have a completed Seawall (just in time for summer).

there is a nail salon going in one over from the irish pub on the waterfront side - typical vancouver - its either starbucks a dollar store or a nail salon

SpongeG · #**2077** Posted **May 2, 2011, 2:03 AM**

the plastic pails on top are super sexxxy and classy.

SpongeG · #**2079** Posted **May 2, 2011, 2:15 AM**

and i am gonna make a sign that says seawall closed ahead detour here - lol - I watched dozens of people ride or walk down to the part where its fenced off only to have to walk back - some of them were lugging some luggage and big packages - i felt sorry for them

Millennium2002 · #**2080** Posted **May 2, 2011, 5:31 AM**

If you look at the other side of the pails you'll see free advertising for Home Depot. xD

And yes, good idea on those signs. I've been confused myself and I thought I was well-acquainted with that place... O.O

Does anybody know how far the marine air terminal interior has progressed?
