Looking from Fir St. at the autumnal trees in the little park fronting the 10th Ave side of the #Vancouver School Board offices in the 1500 block of West 10th Ave. #autumn

Ochre- and green-leafed trees beside a concrete stair frosted with ochre leaves.

Tuesday #Vancouver City Council approved mass rezoning of 4,292 parcels of land in #BroadwayPlan area. Unclear if Broadway Plan developments awaiting rezoning to CD-1 have now been rezoned to the mass-rezoning's new tower zoning: "R5-high-rise". Clarity from @cityofvancouver.bsky.social appreciated.

Vancouver's sweeping rezoning of more than 4,200 properties aims to shorten the development process by a year or more.

#Homeless binner friend made great point that #BCGEU strike could mean big sales boost for any local breweries in #Vancouver & across #BritishColumbia which do their own deliveries to liquor stores - such as 33 Acres, Parallel 49, Red Truck Beer, Strathcona Beer, etc. bsky.app/profile/sqwa...

#BCGEU strike is trickling down. #BritishColumbia govt liquor stores are all closed, reducing consumer options. Private liquor stores in & around #Vancouver's South Granville area are already running out of certain brands & binners think they're already noticing fewer beer cans!

Maybe not explicitly, but U.S. President Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957 to enforce desegregation of Central High School, overriding the state's governor's objections, following U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education.
