The front of that Steam Clock is also where they filmed the start of the chase sequence in the beginning and end of The Never Ending Story.

I’ve done a couple of rail trips to Vancouver from Seattle. My enhanced drivers license is accepted ID, and Vancouver has a terrific transit system. I walked across the city without stress…and had all kinds of chats with local people. Every food choice you could want.

At 10:40 you will see a building with a tree growing on top, the penthouse was once owned by Leonard Nemoy and was later sold to John Travolta.
@geeman4770I just watched a video of major league homelessness in Vancouver. It looked like what I saw in Vegas a few years ago. Very nasty.
@mteviloneJust awesome. All your videos
@gerinipe1178I'll be there this coming August for three days with my father before we had to Toronto. So excited to visit Vancouver for the first time.
@heribertherrera1762Thank you! I'm visiting Vancouver in a week and I'll be visiting some spots you recommend.

@Den-t7zThis is great video showing what is really important in our beautiful city! Some highlights:

Rain or shine icecream 🤤
I have some nice shots of the city from my drone on my channel if you want a different perspective. Subscribed and liked!
You were lucky as the 'off' season can feature either clouds or rain. You got impending rain. Luckily, those not shot; have not been present for this shooting as there would be addicts allover. Mostly those in need take every shelter available but this was filmed after security called police to move the out few that don't know the daily hustle. This is normalized here. The closure of Riverview sent a cascading ripple that cast all the homeless and mentally ill towards drugs all the whilst abandoning them.
@AdolphMarx0:06 Did you go on the Capilano suspension bridge? I didn't see it featured later in this video. Is it accessible without a car?
@ANonyMouse627As a local to Vancouver, great video mate!
@dallasgroot93liked and subscribed :) what month and days did you go? :) going this 2nd week of Nov and hoping there's no rain and snow :D
@applea.4337i live around the corner from tom's sushi...it is the best, but we do have other great sushi location's as well
@jeffross5424Fun video, guys! You showed us that Vancouver is an amazing city.
@tepeassydacI felt in LOVE with Vancouver! I am not a big city fan but Vancouver hooked me up! First time, went August 01st, of this year! I love the mountains around the city, the beaches, Stanley park, Gastown and so on! I will go back to Vancouver next year again! Great documentation, thank you for sharing guys! 😊
@SabrinaA638PNE PLAYLAND
@sbinsaneseraGo on the Vancouver fly over ride
@sbinsaneseraI was there back in 1985 curtesy of the Royal Australian NAVY to take part in the Canadian Navies fiftieth celebrations. Had a great time. The Canadians are so friendly, their beer is as good as ours and back in those days they had the play boy club plus most of the pubs had exotic dancers, all of whom were drop dead gorgeous.
@geoffreyrichardson8738Where would be a good central place for hotels to stay in Vancouver? Thanks in advance.
@anhtaa1WOW!! Born and raised in Vancouver and you made me excited about my city. Amazing video, and I love your dad's (pop's) added narrative. I always say, I forget how amazing Vancouver is until I leave and come back.. or watch videos like yours. New subscriber, keep it up
@calumashleymcdonough8955good tips and places to visit.
@naja2314Did you stay at the Accent Hotel in Richmond near the airport? Or did you stay at a different location? How far was the walk from your hotel to the Skytrain? I would like to do what you did and take the Skytrain into downtown to save money on lodging. Thanks!
@carlschumacher698Vancouver has a WAY better climate
than stinky old L.A.!!! The people are friendlier, too.
Enjoyed your video :-) My husband and I will be making our first trip up there next week.
@ellavaderHot dogs and donuts? Get enlightened watching The Healthy Immune Doc.
@MsCjmaxiILL POPS
@ChicagoBenAndersonGreat vid...Love that you guys stopped at 49th for coffee! Me and the wife were there a few weeks ago! Fly Over is cool.....Like you said - very much like the Disney ride...
@blockbusterundergroundWhere did you take the sky train from? And what month were you there?
@kimsimpson8205This was a great guide thank you
@leensalocinNuh-NYE-moe Good try tho 😀
@BrentsBistroNot sure what happened but Stanley Park chopped down a bunch of trees,its basically everywhere you drive.
@patrickbertlein4626I love this city in my first visit in 1994. You shows many attractions that I haven’t visited 👏👏👏
@heimingkoo27692:50 I thought it was made out of Legos
@Michael.ToledoThanks for sharing. Never been to CA. Would like to bring my kids there. Is best to rent a car or use public transportation? Will be landing in Vancouver. Planning to see Stanley Park, China town, Capilano bridge and Grandville Island.
@maythao8958In a Vancouver local and absolutely love our city!!! As mentioned next time you’re here the Museum of Anthropology is a must see at the UBC campus as well as taking a stroll around the SFU campus! A little bit of urban legend, if you come back to Vancouver, the nine o’clock gun is a haunted area. If you go later in the evening, you will sometimes hear footsteps walking around that area! Hope you gentlemen come back to Vancouver for more sightseeing!
@jaybeeBCWe LOVE Vancouver! Thanks for a great video that took me back to all our favorite spots and foods, and brought back some incredible memories. I really enjoyed this!!!
@dianetuccillo345Love that smile, Pops!
