Nonsensical Subject...

OK, so an interesting subject title to my last post that made absolutely no sense....

Whoops.

The office I went to for the project meeting is in the old downtown area of Vancouver, referred to as 'Gastown.' It's not run-down (much), but filled with older, character buildings, cobblestone streets and even a steam-powered clock that struck 4pm (loudly) just as I walked by talking on my cellphone. Ouch. The office is locted in the middle of Gastown, just around the corner from Blood Alley.

Now, Blood Alley has 2 historical references to lend to its name. It was the location of several butcher shops and at the end of the day, when they cleaned the shops, the street would fill with blood. Also, the square at Blood Alley was used for public executions. I'm pretty sure, though, that there were only ever public hangings in this region.

So, now Blood Alley makes a bit more sense to everyone! :D
