I have two daughters, two brothers, a mom, and a ton of nieces and nephews that still live in Vancouver. Just about everyone of them has been affected by the storms. My youngest daughter was chased out of her basement suite when it flooded. She's currently staying at a friend's house. My middle daughter has been without power several times and for extended periods more than once this winter.
I hate to see Stanley Park getting nailed like this. So many of my memories revolve around the park, from family picnics at Lumberman's Arch in the '50s and '60's to making out with girls in the '70s. The regional Rugby championship was played at Brockton Oval and the All-Blacks from New Zealand used to play exhibition games there. In fact, the high schools played for the "New Zealand Shield", which was a trophy donated by the All-Blacks. Every Easter there was a free rock concert in the park. Yep, I have lots of great memories and probably lots I've forgotten (wink wink nudge nudge) from my times in the park ;>)
