A good book about the history of Vancouver would be nice. The history books I've come across are just raw information, which is OK, but I would also like to find out how it was like to be there. I like reading about how families made it through the war or through tough times. I came across a good book at the library about the Japanese Internment Camp ordeal as seen through the eyes of a child - what she could remember and how she felt about it. History like that is great, because it puts you right there. History with a personal touch.
As for kids nowadays, I guess it's not their fault. Our world is so different now. Kids cannot go outside and play stick ball or hockey till 10 at night in the city. Actually, you cannot do it anywhere, from what I hear. Even in small towns, there are weirdos.
Sorry, my response is a little off.......
