Another February weekend, and another nice day in the lower mainland. We decided to check out south Richmond, or the community of Steveston as it's known. A very historic area - especially with respect to fishing and the BC Packers heritage buildings. Nestled along the south arm of the Fraser River, history is butted up against some very modern medium-density residential developments, which have been tastefully designed in my opinion. Others may argue that it's developing too quickly and becoming too 'yuppy' perhaps. I don't mind some corporate coffee shops in the old village area, but I do appreciate the many small, independent businesses there.
The seawall along the dyke is also well crafted, with many intersting historical and art pieces sprinkled throughout. Check out this link for some great photographs of the area along with some other information.
