Scary Dolls
Most recent comment: Thursday, June 1st, 2006 at 04:33:14
This shop is on the 3rd floor of a building/mall. The dolls are scary because they are anatomically correct (for a juvenile) and the photos showing how they are used involves putting them in sexual situations. Just odd.

WOW!!!! that is scary make up!!!

Believe it or not, these dolls are actually very popular in underground circles, even outside Japan. The unfortunate thing about it is that they are expensive as hell. :/

That hill in front of the small lake would be the perfect spot to find a hobbit house. I wonder if that hill represents the end of a glacial advance.

Japanese Toy Store
Most recent comment: Thursday, June 1st, 2006 at 04:31:35

This store was close to our hotel - it's as close to "cute heroin" as you can get
purified into small packages, sold at a variety of prices.  Every Hello Kitty character was represented
in one way or another.


I am a first grade teacher. My students and I would like to purchase tiny birthday bears (about 3 inches tall)...I believe that they are called 365 days bears...They were popular about a year ago...Can you tell us how to get them?

I believe the store where you can get these, along with other characters with the birthday on them, is called the 365 Birthday Store in Harajuku.

Water Fog on Rock

This is a several second exposure - the water washes over the rock and where it's white it is rendered as fog.

I was going through comments on my web site and I noticed yours. I don't know if it's helpful - there is no such thing as a "sea gull" - in BC there is 12ish species that people call "Sea Gulls", but none of them are named "Sea Gull". It's kind of like looking for the scientific name for "fruit" - it's actually a family with lots of different distinct individuals.

Fireworks Over Vancouver From Fairview Slopes

One of the exceptional photo opportunities - a cruise ship coming or going.  The city is so bright
that balancing the exposure with fireworks is challenging.

This is a wonderful shot, very well exposed. I've been looking around at your website today, as I've just attended the Celebration of Light (Italy) tonight. I was set up at the Cambie bridge, and this scene looks very similar to what I saw from there. The fireworks didn't always make it over the buildings, but it was a very pretty sight when they did. To be truthful, I was aiming for the Burrard bridge, but parking conspired against me. I saw a lot of photographers set up there.

There is a long elevator ride you can take down to get to this lower viewing platform. We were here early Monday morning so the crowds were sparse.

This was really, really good. Are previous meals were common food for me (read - veggie burgers), so this meal was a real treat. The restaurant (Chaya - 118 Banff Ave) was run by a Japanese woman and obviously caters to both the overseas tourists and the overseas workers.

Old Hotel in Namu
Most recent comment: Saturday, May 13th, 2006 at 07:40:41

This boardwalk used to go around to the old hotel. The hotel has two stories and
approximatly 40 rooms. It's not doing so well now.

Tags: boardwalk

My name is Wayne Fredriksen, and I was raise in Namu from 1950 until '70s. As a teenager I worked in the cannery during the summer months. My father was marine superintendant for B.C. Packers for many years. In the summer young people came from all over, Bella Coola, Vancouver and the Island. The place we stayed at was the bunkhouse. The picture shown above. The closest it came to a hotel was when the guys called it the Namu Hilton. We stayed at the bunkhouse and eat our meals at the mess hall just down the board walk from the bunkhouse. The bunkhouse was only occupied 3 or 4 months out of the year and then it was boarded up... After working in Namu for my growing up years I later worked on packer boats, commercial fished and did charter sports fishing business. So I lived and worked in the Namu area for over 40 years. From the hayday of B.C. Packers to the demise of both Namu and B.C. Packers. So that the story and I have many more. Thank-you Wayne.

I, too, was raised in Namu. I lived there from 1959 - 1967. My dad was the foreman at the reduction plant. I was very sad to see (in your picture) how deteriorated the boardwalk has become. I have MANY happy memories of my years living in Namu. Thank you for posting this picture.

Hi, I was glad to see your picture of Namu, We used to stop there when in route to Alaska, and back to the states. I was there again in 2004 when we went to Alaska on our 52 foot Yacht. I took lots of pictures because I knew that I may not ever get the chance to do it again. I almost cryed while walking the old board walks, and looking at the decay of such a once butiful, active, and interesting place. alot of things went through my mind as I slowly looked at what had become of a beautiful memory. I was just a kid when my dad and I would stop by, Dad knew the Superintendant, and the Machinest there and we were always welcome when we arrived. It is so sad to see such a beautiful way of life come to such a fateful end. I truely feel for all of you and the many fanilys that were affected. The crash of the Fisheeries has hurt us all, Canada, and in the United States, I only wish we could get things back togatheer again like it once was. As Always Best of wishes, Earl W. Soule M/V.

As the poster above noted, that's one of the bunkhouses. In fact we painted the sign "Edgewater Inn" and nailed it above the porch. I was there Summers from 1977 to 1980. One year my room was the third window from the left side of the porch, just behind that pole. Fond memories indeed.

I was born in Bella Bella BC and lived in Namu for the first 5 years of my life, I remember having lots of fun playing in an area with no fences and I had a small group of other children to play with. We could go almost anywhere, everyone on our street knew each other so we always did most everything together. After my Dad Frank Brynelson was killed in a motorcycle crash my mother Corra, brothers and myself moved to Bella Coola BC. that was in 1965, we lived there until Dec. 1968, then we moved to Vancouver we lived with our relatives until September of 1968/69. Then we moved to Chilliwack BC.I still live here my brothers live elsewhere in the lower mainland.

Babara, I remember your mom and dad. I lived in Namu from '52 to'60 when my dad died. I remember your dad as this really nice amiable guy who was lots of fun for a kid to be around and your mom as being really pretty and awfully shy. They were a lovely couple and seemed so much in love. The whole town used to go on picnics to Calvert Island and I remember sitting and talking to your parents then.

Hi Barbara! It's been a while since I've check this site. A nice surprise to see your name. I'm in Chilliwack as well. How's your mom? Mine's in Mexico enjoying the sun, my dad's in Hope. Do you remember me? I've kept an eye on the happenings in Namu over the years just like a lot of others. The town is now up for sale for $1.5M. What a great resort this historic piece of BC's history would make. Wish it wasn't so darn expensive to get back there for a visit. It'll be interesting to watch what unfolds.

My parents and my 3 brothers moved to Bella Bella in 1946. We then moved to Namu when the new plant was built in 1947. We lived there until 1962 when the cannery burnt down. The first job as a young lad was in the cannery. I worked there when I was not in school. I have so many wonderful memories of those times. I always felt it was a gift to experience that lifestyle.

Thursday, March 10th, 2011 at 21:46:58

I lived there with my parents and brother in the mid 70's. I have fond memories of whipping around on those boardwalks on my "Bigwheel" My father Mark Jackson worked at the boatworks... and my mother Darlene in the cannery. I seem to recall my brother and I bowling in a bowling alley but we had to set the pins up ourselves. I am saddened by the state it's now in. I pray to one day go back if only for a day. I was baptized on the Thomas Crosby and we lived next door to Cathy and Richard Hildebrandt who were my god parents.

Greetings everyone. I see my sister has already been here and left her message. I guess it is incumbent upon me to add a little more. I also was born in Bell Bella in 1957 (only there for 3 or 4 days) then lived in Namu until 1965 when, after my dad was killed in a motorcycle mishap, our family moved down to Bella Coola, from there we moved to Haigensborg. I went to Vancouver in 1968 for summer school and mom, Gerry and Barb followed that summer. We stayed with my Uncle Bill and his family for about a year. We then moved to Chilliwack in 1969. I lived there until 1979 when I got outta "Dodge." and moved down to the lower main land.

I met and married my soulmate Wendy(nee Epp) November 1981. We have three wonderful kids (young adults now) We moved to Abbotsford in 1992 and have been here since. Gerry lives with his family in Delta. Mom still lives in the same house she bought in 1969.

My memories of Namu are varied, everything from watching the reduction plant burn down twice, my dad and the rest of the people sand bagging due to fears of a Tsunami that was reported going to strike the coast after the massive earth quake in Alaska. I remember going "hunting" with my plastic Winchester rifle and my trusty dog Chipsie I remember doing watchman duties with my uncle Hap through the net loft, the smell of the nets is still with me.

If I hear the sound of either a sea gull or a raven it brings me back there a few seconds

I remember watching Elvis Presley in Blue Hawaii and for the longest time, thinking he'd really dove off that cliff into the ocean,,was a little disappointed to learn it was a stunt double.

Other memories are when the Namu Killer Whale was captured in 1966, she in the net enclosure and her mate calling to her out side the net..was so sad. I remember my dad teaching me how to tie knots and how to shoot my .22 rifle. He even let me shoot his 30.06..let's just say the bullet went somewhere and I landed on my butt.

Wow, this is an amazing sight. We lived in Namu also. My father worked in the cannery for many years, transfering to Steveston. I would love to go back to see Namu. I have so many fond memories. All your names sound very familiar. The Steveston plant is nothing but condo's now. Such a shame. I remember going to the Namu reunion in Delta many, many years ago. I bet most of the original Namuites are now gone, only the children left.

Wow - what a neat site! I first saw Namu in the summer of 1957. I had been hired as a deckhand by Nels Hansen on his 40' collector, KINKY KID. We picked up fish from gillnetters between Finn Bay and Namu and delivered to Namu each day. Every other day we had to run back to Finn Bay so we could start out in the morning. Another boat would start out of Namu and we would collect fish from all the BCP gillnetters before heading back to the cannery. I loved the job so much that I worked with Nels for three seasons. The last summer there (1959) I met Bing Crosby and got his autograph. Mark Fredriksen was our boss and his dad, Mike looked after the net floats in Finn Bay. I was playing crib with Mike when I got my one and only 29 hand! Great memories!

It is so sad to see the condition of Namu & the boardwalks. My dad Ken Scott was an engineer in the cannery for a year in either 1956 or 57 not sure which, but I was about 9 or 10 & loved Namu. Always wanted to go back & see it. As a kid you could roam free & safe all by yourself. Loved exploring the boardwalks & going down exploring the tide pools when the tide was out.
