Happy autumn! Made this vid exactly a year ago about the two-week period when people visit Cambridge Street in East Van to photograph the fall colours. Was surprised at the time by all the grumps online who complained about the phenomenon. Alas... vimeo.com/393028795

Tonight’s the night. The fine folks at Knowledge Network @kpassiton are airing my doc on artist Hinda Avery and her fantastic paintings of foul-mouthed elderly women taking on the Nazis. Stoked. knowledge.ca/program/hinda-…

Realized I've been writing about the Downtown Eastside for 20 years. So I reflected on those two decades in a column. You can read it here: ow.ly/CcfS50Kc3Gn #DTES #Vancouver

As usual, some great, insightful and thorough civic reporting from my old colleague Mike Howell. And sadly, as usual, "voter turnout was 36.3 per cent" 😬
