I recognized Georgia St, but I have no recollection of the other two. But I'm a little puzzled that you did not include Robson, which counts as the main drag, as I understand it. Or did you feel that would have been too much of a giveaway? (I entered Vancouver anyway, since a bad guess is more likely to give points than no answer at all.) |

I don't think I wrote that question, and if I did, I don't remember what I was thinking of. But most cities have more than three main streets and we never said we were naming the most important streets in each city. If you were only in downtown Vancouver (i.e. north of False Creek), where Robson and Georgia are, you may not have met Kingsway, which is much longer and is certainly a main street, but does not extend into downtown. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | This is Programming as a True Art Form, where style msb@vex.net | is more important than correctness... --Pontus Hedman My text in this article is in the public domain. |
