John Levine made a lasting impact on the restaurant scene in Vancouver. Back in 1960 John opened the first "fresh" pizza joint in Vancouver called Jon's Pizzarama. His love for good wine drove him to found the Playhouse International Wine festival. John loved wine and John's personal wine cellar was something you'd imagine from a castle in France. John was on the forefront of educating Vancouverites about appreciating great wines.
Sadly John Levine passed away Tuesday April 17th. Rest in peace John, you will be missed.

Solitude in Vancouver
Vancouver is a very busy city. But there are times when one can find solitude. This photo is taken at Spanish Banks beach.

Famous Gastown Steam Clock
Vancouver's Gastown is home to the Gastown Steam clock. This clock is one of the few steam clocks to exist in the world, a rarity indeed. It is powered by steam and electricity which is supplied by the city. This clock was installed back in 1977. Come and watch this clock "toot" every 15 minutes and have your picture taken.
