Plaza of Nations No More

Well okay, the headline's a bit of a misnomer but clearly the glass covered Plaza of Nations on the old Expo 86 grounds looks quite a bit different.


Whatever they eventually do with the property I trust they're going to leave a special plaque that reads: "This is where Mark H. and Peter M. started their illustrious musical careers."

A Little Blast From the Past!

Memories of Expo 86

Were you in Vancouver for Expo 86? It was a fabulous time and somehow the entire city felt newer, better, funner. Is "funner" even a word?! But it really was a great event. One of the architectural highlights of the exposition was a glass-roofed Plaza of Nations. Now 21 years later it's all coming down. Sad, but perhaps inevitable, as most man-made structures on this continent don't seem built to last.
