  Graffiti can be well-liked/appreciated or disliked/ annoying to most people. Regardless, for Vancouver, it is essentially everywhere, as it is number 56 in top 99 most popular cities for Graffiti, which is higher than Oakland California, which is notorious for its plethora amount of vandalism/ Graffiti.  In most major cities in Canada, Graffiti is mainly seen at skateparks (as shown above) and a few select Abandoned buildings. Vancouver however, it is arguably everywhere you go, it can be seen in alleyways, on those pure white cube trucks, storefronts, and even people's vacant properties like their garages. The owner attempted to paint over the Spray paint but it is still seen faintly. "Why is Graffiti a thing?" Vandalism is extremely prominent in major, densely populated cities and Graffiti specifically has evolved into a way of protest and rebellion, some feel it's important and valid, while others feel it is pointless and unfair. Both sides have valid points, I f...

     Three most interesting facts about my neighbourhood    I live in Burnaby, near Broadway and Burnaby Mountain. The first thing I found interesting is the nearly identical statistics for men and women in my neighbourhood, which is nearly exactly half. The total population of age groups is 7,720, 3,870 being men and 3,850 being women. That is a tiny 0.52% difference. The reason for this could be due to the men and women common-law/married ratio also being nearly identical, 1,845 - men and 1,860 - women. It seems couples could be pressed to move out here due to the high volume of detached private homes and decent pricing (at the time).  Another interesting thing I noticed in my area was the majority of 2-person sized families, being 970 in my area, which makes out to be 44.9% which is almost half the family population by itself, compared to 3 persons, 4 persons and 5- more person families wich all collectively make up the remaining  55% of families in...

What is your name? My  name is Sean, full name is Sean Achilles Junior Creighton-Higgins (very long I know). What are you Majoring in or planning to Major in at KPU? I  am planning to major in journalism as this is my first time at KPU, second year of my course.  Why are you taking this course? I  am taking this course because well, even though this is my second year in my studies I still never taken any sort of journalism class before, so I thought it was pretty important for me to take this class.  What are you hoping to learn in this course? I  am really hoping to learn how to write and be better at finding stories and writing about them. As I always had a passion for writing yet had trouble with writing about stuff other than my own stories/ideas.  What is the best place you have ever visited and why? The best place I have ever visited is Spain, to be exact, Barcelona, it seems any type of food you get there tastes insane. Weather  it be pizz...
