The back street garages remind me of Toronto, where I grew up.
This truck was growing through the trees...
'NO SIGN' They have built-in paths for bikes. A bike-friendly Richmond, indeed.
Lots of community gardens.

A great record of this interesting area.

The coast is a different world. that's why it's interesting to visit.
