My Blog Gets Bricked

Welcome to a wonderfully disappointing blog post with a most promising title.

Once while I was on set between set-ups while working in a kind of alley/parking lot thing downtown I noticed these spectacular white walls made of many different sized brick in a various states of decay. I snapped away and filed 'em under Walls.

Upon employing some new design elements utilizing Blogger's new bitchin' Template Designer I remembered these .jpeg jewels and thought it would be keen to adorn the background with one, but it was not to be so. I sourced and Photoshopped, uploaded and redirected, embedded and previewed but to no avail. Blogger assures us that that feature is at the top of their to do list. And I hope it's in their 80% time.

I'm not sure why I was so compelled. I suppose a  Comedian is most comfortable presenting content in front of a brick wall.

Terminal Ave 300

 

Photographed 02/22/2010

It's the end of the Greyhound run, the end of the West Coast Express and Amtrak trains coming into the city--the SkyTrain Expo line hovers above the avenue and it's the end of downtown

It's home to a Starbucks, a new Tim Horton's, a Flea Market, Long & McQuade, a car wash,  a multitude of car dealerships, a carpet store and Home Depot.

I was harassed there for a traffic infraction later withdrawn due to improper Police conduct I've sped towards Lion's Gate Studios along there many, many times, it's the corridor that takes me to my Nieces for infrequent but memorable visits and most recently I worked at a building located there during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

I had no idea how many different experiences Terminal Ave held for me until I wrote this. How many stories do the streets we inhabit hold for each of us?
