The building in the background is unfortunately now a see-through building. Because the city's ash trees are dying due to the Emerald Ash Borer, the city uses this now vacant land as a tree nursery for future transplants.
Nearby, surrounded by an expanse of lawn, there were raised beds and this long row of tomatoes, for selling at a market.

Cities are all so different, and they change and evolve. I wonder what is ahead for Vancouver with all its high-end construction--what will survive and be viable in the future global economy?
