Reminder

Interesting how fake the text on that barrier looks, but I promise you that it's truly there.

!

Indeed!

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)!

Waves

This group of young ladies are what are known as Hyack Ambassadors, and prior to taking part in the parade they were handing out chocolates to those viewing the antique cars. The Hyack Ambassador program is linked to the Miss New Westminster pageant, and offers leadership opportunities (and, according to the Hyack website, deportment, etiquette and social skills) around town to interested high school age girls.

Happy Easter

I couldn't decide today, so there are two daily photos wishing you Happy Easter from New Westminster.



It was the annual antique car Easter parade. Unfortunately, today's weather is the exact opposite of yesterday's sun and warmth. Fortunately, the Easter Bunny will be the warmest on the route with all that fur!



How to pimp a ride for Easter.

Pinkish

Side of a disused building on Columbia, near 4th Street.

Busy Bees

Lots of work going on just past the Quay, though I'm not quite sure what it will all be by the end of it all. This was taken from the top of the Front Street parkade, looking over the Fraser River towards Surrey.

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.

Weatherbeaten

View of the backside of the former Columbia Famous Players theatre on Columbia Street.

Although this sign is at the top of the building, I was able to get this near to it by climbing to the top of the Downtown Parkade. The parkade is a three-story structure that was built over Front Street.
