Plaque installed in Maywood Park #Metrotown in 1983 marking a century of change in the area. Photos from April 2021/May 2026. Was the plaque stolen or was it removed by @CityofBurnaby?

Structural fire at 6460 Cassie in Metrotown, Burnaby on afternoon of June 16.
Fire damage appears localized and contained with water damage to adjacent and lower suites.
Fire separation wall patiently waiting to spring into action since 1982.

Kingspark Good Food at Burnaby’s Crystal Mall has closed. 🥺
Owner retired apparently.
Was my go-to for cheap and cheerful Hong Kong Cantonese drinks and brunch meals for more than a decade.

@metrotowner “Tree protection” fencing is the cheap pine casket for neighborhood trees.
Poor things don’t know they’re already dead.

[Michael Berry @berry_michael]

@metrotowner That wasn’t clear in our convo.
I don’t expect dead-end bike lane Hurley and his LED council to be proactive on progressive matters. Gu went on hiatus years ago and stopped public advocating for… anything. Joe is DOA.

@metrotowner I asked a survey worker at the site what is happening. He said BC Hydro is running a new power line underground along Beresford.

Recent deforestation at Byrnepark Drive in #Burnaby.

@metrotowner If there is one thing Uncle Terry is good at, it’s looking ahead.
Unfortunately the taxation agencies put too much resources on the small fish (eg spec+vacancy) and not enough of the whales (Concord Pacific, others)

@metrotowner Hahaha. One usually finds abandoned cars in forests in the form of burning hulks.
Happy this isn’t the case here.

@metrotowner Puff piece from @georgiastraight. 250 words and not a single legislative accomplishment or policy statement in the last 7 years from @DOAJoe.
Punk is putting a spanner in the works, not accruing a pension with paid vacations for tours with the band.

Talk + Action = DOAZero.

@metrotowner The @CityofVancouver should move the entirety of the motel, landscaping and neon sign to the parking lot of @museumofvan. They can charge out bungalows at $1000/night to subsidize the mayor @KenSimCity zero-percent increase budget.
