Along Lougheed Highway and North Road in my neighborhood, there are these metal electrical boxes which was one of those things in your vision that you never really see, because it becomes just part of the urban landscape. Well, a year or so ago, they covered these green boxes with this rather interesting historical photo collage. It makes me think about the rather young history of BC, and really how much has changed.For something I see everyday, it definitely brings a smile to my face.
i'm trying to picture where this is... i work close to north rd. hmmm
ReplyDeleteHey Tia,
ReplyDeletethey're everywhere along North Road--like on the corner of Austin and NorthRoad for example, or Lougheed and North Road. I'm sure you'll start spotting them everywhere!
We did a post about the story on those boxes.
