AHA MEDIA meets Rob, a Dutchman who wears Viking Horns on Hastings Street in Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES)
Rob who laughingly says his name is his job, usually hangs out by the Hastings Folk Garden in front of the old, empty Smiling Buddha cabaret.
This was filmed by April Smith of AHA MEDIA on a Nokia N95 mobile cameraphone. April is passionate and skilled in making Nokia films by exploring mobile media production through the camera lens of a cellphone. For a better quality version of this video, please DM April Smith @AprilFilms on Twitter.
AHA MEDIA is pleased to discover an Apple Tree growing in the middle of 100 Block of East Hastings in Vancouver Downtown Eastside ( DTES )
While walking down 100 Block of East Hastings, AHA MEDIA is pleased to discover an Apple Tree growing in front of the Blue Eagle Cafe.
The Vancouver Downtown Eastside is Vancouver’s oldest neighborhood – we at AHA MEDIA are always pleased to find treasures in our area to write about. We enjoy filming and creating positive community conversations!
Below are photos of Hendrik Beune, Director of AHA MEDIA’ standing by the tree. With Hendrik’s degree in Biology and sharp eye for observation, we were pleased that a full grown Apple Tree bearing minature fruits was only half a block from the corner of Main and Hastings!
” Block Party” at Hastings Folk Garden in Vancouver Downtown Eastside on August 18 – 19, 2009
Student volunteers are organizing the building of a garden shed out of compressed earth block (CEB).
“We want to give people an opportunity to learn how they can build this way, and also to learn about the great advantages of building with earth. Folks who come out to volunteer with us on Tuesday Aug 18 and Wednesday Aug 19 will be guided through the blending, forming and curing processes of CEB, and can contribute to the Folk Garden by making some earth blocks for its new shed.
After the blocks have been cured for about a week, we will be having another work party to assemble the building… there will be another announcement for that next week.
We are doing this project with the support of The Hastings Folk Garden Society and Building Opportunity for Business, in part as a way to investigate the possibility of developing this technology as a new branch of social enterprise in the Downtown Eastside.

We are hoping to bring lots of people out for a couple of cheerful work party days in the garden.
Hope to see you there!
