Departure

Honk Toot

Bird, not on a wire

Toy Train

One might consider me a trainspotter, except that I don't keep lists.

Decisions

Multiples

On a Wire

Pigeons loitering above the Front Street Parkade.

!

Indeed!

Green

Because I remain obsessed with tugboats and there is such great colour co-ordination going on here...

Columbia

A dying breed of brick-painted advertising and business signage.

Broken

Soon to be demolished to make way for new condos.

Pier here

No April Fool - New Westminster is soon to have a new park.

Hang On!

Creepy. I had never noticed that the decks on the parkade look as though they are sloping downwards.

Broadcast Break

Oops, I seem to have run out of photos. Will be back next week with more fun from New Westminster.

Until then, here's a movie trailer that shows the top deck of the Front Street Parkade with the SkyTrain bridge in the background at 1:50 and 2:16.

Still Life

iRobot? No! I, Robot

This is the section of street that was turned into the futuristic city in the film "I, Robot". Watch it; you won't believe it's the same place.

Sneakin' a Smoke

Graffiti mural outside a local skate shop.

Halt

At the top of the Downtown Parkade. Don't go over that green fence; it's a long way down to Front Street (which runs underneath the parkade)!

Floating

Down there, on Front Street, is Antique Alley. Amongst the interesting shops is some interesting cinema history: this was the street that was converted into the futuristic main street set of Robocop. The stairs that appear to float above the street lead up to the Front Street parkade, located over the street.
