AHA MEDIA encountered a local Vancouver Downtown Eastside Aboriginal/Native man named Sherman as he was shopping at the Astoria Hotel Cold Beer and Wine Store on Hastings Street in the Strathcona neighborhood of Vancouver
AHA MEDIA has known Sherman for a number of years and always regarded him as an always smiling, happy go lucky man with a postive attitude! 🙂 He enjoys making people laugh with his easy candor and quick wit.
In this video, Sherman thoughtfully gives his insights on the changes in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES). How some things are better, the same and worse in our community.
AHA MEDIA further learned that Sherman had a private school education which would explains his knowledgeable articulation on camera and awareness on issues endemic to our area.
