So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
Trees held us in on all four sides so thick we could not see / I could not see any wrong in you, and you saw none in me. — Woody Guthrie, Remember the Mountain Bed |

For a bunch of different reasons — personal, a desire to be outdoors, and a bit of work — I’ve been spending quite a bit of time in North Vancouver lately. This has led me to one conclusion…
I am a very North Vancouver kind of guy.
Despite the fact that I lived ther for not very long (just over a year) I kind of have a whole North shore routine. From Deep Cove to Whytecliffe Park I can roam Marine Drive and stop at places that are like old haunts — Honey’s Doughnuts, Cates Park, Baden Powell trail, the Tim Hortons in the parking lot of Canadian Tire, the Save on Foods at Park and Tilford, the Saskpool trains along the Lower Levels Highway, Lower Lonsdale, the Savary Island Pie Company, Vera’s Burger Shack on Dundarave, the seawall with its dog walk, Trolls in Horseshoe Bay and the ferry leading to destinations farther afield.
These are all places I know well; all places I spend time living, visiting, and walking.
I have a sneaking suspicion that I will wind up living over there again. It has its disadvantages — most notably the fact that you wound up driving a lot — but, you know, I think it’s maybe the Best Place on Earth.
