I am sitting and listening to A Love Supreme by Coltrane on the turntable. This picture is what I consider my home town, in the suburbs of Vancouver, a region called Tri City. It's got bears, big ones, ducks, forests, rivers and lakes, snowy peaks and a view on Mt Baker on the south side of the border. It's got light show displays at the lake over the christmas holiday, farmers market three days a week in the area, many thrift shops and even a record store. Unfortunately, there are no second hand bookstores opened in the area.

It is very multi ethnic with asians and south east asians dominating, I have seen very few black people but there are some. Lots of eastern europeans as well.
