User Friendly Blog Post (For Fran)

Sister Fran has never seen ANY of these goofy old videos that I've been hoisting up onto this NRP blog for the past 24 years. But apparently that's all about to change. The announcement has come down from east Vancouver and a spot in her downstairs spare room has actually been cleared. Sister's first computer will soon become a reality.

To welcome her into this modern world of online home video watching, I've uncovered an old VHS tape recording of a family car ride over to Horseshoe Bay in what appears to be 1983. The footage has now been uploaded into this space. It's something nice and easy that Fran can feel comfortable watching (for the first time ever I might add) when she heads over to this 'No Relevant Point' website on her first 'surfing' experience.

As boring as it may be for the rest of us to witness, there's still two points of interest to be found early on in the proceedings. I draw your attention to a scene looking out the car windshield as we coast down Cambie Street (pre-Canada Line construction). And then the glimpse we have of the newly built BC Place while crossing the old swingspan bridge that would soon be replaced (in 1986) by the modern version that exists today. But, yeah, pretty dull otherwise.
