Main Street is only fun for Indie Girls and Hungry people.
Of late my problem with Vancouver lies in the fact there is little to do regularily but eat and shop. This doesn't include of course "taking in nature" which I have yet to find that little place in Vancouver which I feel in awe of (except parts of the beach in summer).
Warren and I did laps around Main St. today and I was agog at the lack of any cool non-overpriced vintage stores that carried anything which resembled men's clothes. I even forced him into a few girls shops because I was bored. This happened one calendar week after I went to North Van and rode around on the bus looking for attractions but eventually just ended up looking in shops again. And when they ran out, going to West Van for more.
I think this is symptomatic of not being FROM Vancouver...but still...
Everything on Main was just (mainly girl's) shops and restaurants. We even went to the Comic Convention which was just another shop (40 dollars for a Lois Lane comic my ass!). I'm missing what everyone's talking about.
But then again I'm a fool.

P.s. I was blaring "Girls it ain't easy" by Dusty Springfeild on the bus the other day and a young rakish hobo gave me a knowing nod and wink as he left the bus. Could this be a Blondie-esque phenomenon?
Or did he think I was a gay hustler

It's all about Richmond, Cameron.
Go to Richmond: land of weird asian things, and bad driving.
Then we can make out.
Vancouver sucks dude.
And you got hit on by a hobo.
I think the Blondie-syndrome is an apt judgement on your part. It's spreading, or maybe it was there all along.
I think you should've mentioned the highlight of our walking was Dair Queen.
Mother fucking Dairy Queen.
A milkshake for me,
A banana split for you.
That was the highlight of the 3 hours for me, at least.
Pulp Fiction books was the only decent store, but they also had no books I was looking for, so maybe not.
I think that hobo wanted to put his banana in your split. Relevant!
Main St ain't great for girls, either. Over-priced, boring clothing that I'll soon see my sister's friends dressing their babies in.
Good things to do that aren't eating, shopping, movies, or music:

a.k.a. art shows.
How very eh-roo-dite.
...and just cause you use fancy words like "apt" doesn't make us any more impressed that you posted as dan pinese.
