Everybody's toes were tapping to the big band tunes! When you hear a big band like the Kitsilano Boys Band Alumni play "In the Mood" you just feel everyone smiling. You would have had a hard time keeping yourself from getting up to dance last Saturday at the Kits Showboat. It's hard to believe the Showboat, a local institution, started in 1935 and is going stronger than ever today. Celebrating 80 years in the community, this is a boat full of dreams come true for many aspiring artists ... [more]
The smokey haze has cleared and we’re back to blue sky days
Was this Vancouver or the Orange Planet? For those who are new or just visiting this city, the last week or so was like living on a different planet.

Next we see the retaliation from French's by declaring that all of their ... [more]
What type of Spendito are you?
We are all somewhat the same, but we are all distinguished as different Spenditos. Some of us are more footloose and fancy free, others like to load up on more things at Costco or some giant warehouse stuffed with more stuff! It is one of the things that makes us all unique: Choice. Free Choice is even better if you live the right country. We all choose to do different things with our time, life and money.
