There's a disturbing underbelly to the city, exposed for all to see if one walks east rather than west from the downtown core.I had to ride through it on the bus on my way to and from North Van and I did catch quite a few disturbing images, in fact.Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691575624480469934.post-65751118599423267852013-09-13T21:14:11.043-03:002013-09-13T21:14:11.043-03:00Very moody shot, Lynne.

It must have been taken on Powell Street. I might have thought it was in the rough part of Hastings except for what appears to be a grassy expanse just behind the parking area in front of the white building, which I guess is some sort of small factory. Aint no grass, other than the smoking kind, to be found on Hastings. <br /><br />Locust Eaters?
