Previous Episode: Mainland 0 - Mainland, the History of British Columbia

Next Episode: Mainland 2 - Why is Victoria the Capital?!

In our first episode, Joel and Natalie answer the age-old BCer question: why does Kingsway go diagonally across every other road that goes straight?

We discover how it started as a path, then a wagon road, how the army may have used it, as a lookout/escape route (from the dastardly Americans), and its very diverse population today (including Little Saigon!).

We publish every month on the 1st and 15th!
