Downtown Vancouver Washington

-


Vancouver Washington is my hometown. Vancouver Washington is right across the bridge from Portland Oregon, and downtown Portland is where many people go to on the weekends if you live in Vancouver. Downtown Vancouver isn't that popular of an area, and not that many people visit downtown Vancouver like they do Portland. However Downtown Vancouver has many beautiful building, statues, and a great scenery that many people don't know about. Downtown Vancouver also has some great food spots.



Probably the most famous event that happens in downtown Vancouver is the Saturday market. It is always located at Esther Short Park. Esther Short Park is one of the most famous parks in Vancouver.



This section at Esther Short Park is a small waterfall area that a ton of younger children enjoy playing in. Also, People will often toss coins in the water.





Even though the people that live in Vancouver have probably seen this statue of Caption George over 100 times, they still stop to look at it every time they past by it. This statue always finds a way to cache the eye of folks walking around passing by. This young lady Carla Duran says, "Even though I have seen it so many times, I always just stop and look at it for some reason, I don't know why, it doesn't change at all. I just like how he looks I guess. I'm not the only one though, my friends and family are like me. They stop by and look at it, even though they have seen it many times too."

Photo courtesy of Weston Basl It’s just a regular Monday afternoon, and basketball class at LBCC just ended. About eight other students stay in the gym after the class has ended. An hour later, and the gym is empty. Another hour past … still, no one in the gym. No one, except for Weston Basl, as he constantly stays practicing, while nobody is there. Weston Basl, aka “West,” is a 18-year-old freshman LBCC student who is from Culver, Oregon. He is currently still undecided on what he wants to major in. West decided to go to LBCC because he wanted to experience the college life, and he is trying to play for the LBCC men’s basketball team next year. “I’m just practicing every day trying to get better. I haven't talked to the head coach at all, but I have talked to the assistant coach, coach Zimmermann. I actually had a training session with him in the summer, it was just him and I in the gym. Unfortunately I missed the tryout days, and didn’t make the team. I am upset with...
