Seymour River, 

Fall 2019, feels like a life time ago.

Gastown,

Beauty and the beast.

But,
no mater what,

There always is always construction.

Gastown,

Many closed shops,
and restaurants waiting for visitor's return.

I haven't been to Gastown since before Covid hit in early March.

In early July it felt as though the last 10 years of urban renewal,
has gone backward at least those 10 years.

Empty store fronts again are everywhere, including Army Navy,
that had been there for more then 50 years.

Cruising high end German cars among many homeless and the under unemployed.

The wealth gap feels ever wider.
