Kits, Kitsilano, Khatsahlano, Khats


On the first day of summer the sun sets on the Sechelt Peninsula. On the last day, UBC. I know this because last week I watched it, and yesterday only confirmed it. The sun sets on UBC.

It wasn't hard to find parking at 4:45 PM. Only a couple of blocks from Kits Beach, which is fine because I like to see what people are doing in their gardens. Kits Point is park-like now, like West of Denman has been for the last fifty years.

A small picnic at the beach, then a visit to our old stomping grounds -- and I'm talking getting "served" (alcohol) at sixteen and thinking we'd stolen the world stomping grounds -- the King's Head. A strange place to return to, the King's Head has the same Jailhouse Rock interior architecture as it did in the 1970s, only now it's designation has gone from minimum to maximum.

A place like the King's Head could not get built today. Go see it for yourself.
