Don't let the date fool you. I took it while I was out west this past summer. I just didn't get around to uploading it until this weekend. Anyway...that question you're asking?

Yep. That name. In a subsection of Nanaimo's downtown known as the China Steps. Not quite sure how it happened, although I'm sure it did so before Siegel and Shuster happened upon National Periodical Publications.

As for the bookstore/coffeehouse off to the side, Clifford's Wake...I hope it's still in business. I'd like to drop in again some day.

One of those boxes you see at city street corners everywhere, the kind where the electronic guts of a given intersection's traffic signals are stowed away but still easy to reach.

Someone in Victoria had an interesting idea about putting these boxes to more than one use at once, I thought.
