Take Two Daffodil Tour

Dear Blogger

We are hoping that the April Showers that Bring May Flowers holds off on
April 20th because the yet to be named Ward 15 Garden Club will be
venturing east to Lakeview Cemetery to take a tour and to experience the
incredible sight of Daffodil Hill.

We would like to invite you to join us. Go to the Save our Land website to
see the details.

If the URL above does not work, go to http://save-our-land.blogspot.com/
and scroll down to the post that is titled Brooklyn Centre Daffodil Tour.
The flyer has the details.

The last day for reservations is April 4th.

the Vancouver vibe

36 Hours in Vancouver - New York Times--Most agree that Vancouver is one of the most cosmopolitan and liveable cities there is. Notice a few of its attributes in the article--it has restored (not "developed") its older districts, it is a 24-hour economy, it has public transit and bicycle traffic, it's walkable, and it capitalizes on its parks and its waterfront. A friend of mine from New York, now living in San Diego and Vancouver, tells me that being a black man is a totally different experience there as well; he's assimilated, or integrated, or just allowed to be himself; he leaves the baggage at the US border.

Perhaps we can learn a few things from Vancouver, and its "vibe".
