A Changing City

You don’t have to be a Vancouverite to appreciate these panoramic before/after photos of Vancouver. The City’s Web site features photo comparisons of several downtown views between 1978 and 2003. You’ll need to use Internet Explorer, and you should scroll right after you click the 2003 button to see the fade in action.

The difference, predictably, is remarkable. In particular, the view looking west from the Cambie St. bridge is barely recognizable 25 years ago. Kudos to the city for undertaking a project like this–our tax dollars at work.
