Title: Art Installation Cambie and W. King Edward
Post by: Cameron on October 09, 2009, 11:49:24 PM
Anybody go past the new Canada Line train station?
Check out the new art installation at Cambie and West King Edward.
I'll cruise past again, in the next few days, and take some pictures.
In the mean time, if you're in that neighbourhood, go take a look.
