Short Stroll in Strathcona area of Vancouver
The following photos are AHA MEDIA’s short stoll through the streets of Strathcona area of Vancouver during a fine Spring day! 🙂
Cart at Main and Hastings vs Cinema at Main and Cordova in Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES)
The following photos illustrate the juxtaposition of the HAVE NOTS ( corner of Main and Hastings Streets) to the HAVES ( Corner of Main and Cordova Streets).
A man with a shopping cart comes around the corner of Hastings and travels down Main Street towards the well heeled folks at Cinema 319 and their Red Carpet Gala Event at the corner of Main and Cordova.
We at AHA MEDIA, hope that with the upcoming Election, issues such as gentrification, poverty and homelessness will be addressed and not forgotten. The Vancouver Downtown Eastside is a vibrant active community with people from many walks of life, – let’s find a way to solve the social problems!
