Strathcona

I'm not really sure what to call the neighbourhood our second home is in. Not quite Chinatown, nor Strathcona. Maybe we're Mount Pleasant? Something-adjacent, perhaps?

There isn't much to this post, mostly some pictures. The evening was grey (as is often the case in Vancouver), but the walk was a fine one. Marie, Conrad, Mark, and I meandered through the very old Strathcona neighbourhood en route home from our dinner at Au Petit Chavignol. Certainly, there are some less-than-pretty homes in the area - it's not the wealthiest of neighbourhoods. Still, there is much character, some genuinely lovely houses, and gardens that were compact, lush, and a source of some small envy to us.
