Here’s a video from VanCity Buzz that invites people to the new New Year’s Eve Vancouver celebrations in dear old Soggyville. It is a mosaic of people from all streams and corners of our diverse city, with socially-inclusive and welcoming messages. Really, a mini-portrait of our society. Look for Gordon Price to say a few words.
Irony? Well, the production company is called “Antisocial Media Solutions”. It looks to me like they’re anything but . . . .
May I respectfully challenge your casual use of the word Soggyville for Vancouver. We have had an unusually dry summer but even on average this is not accurate. This summer we had 46 mm or 1.8 inches. Dallas Texas gets 330 mm/13 inches during that same time. Madrid 92 mm/3.6 inches.

This website lists Vancouver at 43.6 inches per year. This compares with
New York 47.2
Washington DC 41
Miami 60
New Orleans 63
Atlanta 50
Juneau 90
São Paulo 55
Tokyo 60
Shanghai 45
Hong Kong 87
Singapore 89
Zürich 42.5
Bergen 81.7
Milan 39
Funny, I was going to say something along the same lines!
