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.

British Columbia Transportation and Highways Yellow.

I am sure this is a colour that you can order,
as I sure see it often enough.

Or maybe I spend too much
time looking down.

Mobile phones with cameras are great,
you always have it with you.

In these weird times,

What to do?

Leap back to what we know,
or contemplate a new path forward.

As our lock down continues,

There is so much beauty and celebration of spring,
so close at hand.
