| STEAM PLANTER |
|
| STRANGE TO SEE FLOWERS BLOOMING IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER, WITH SNOW ALL AROUND THEM. MANY OF THE BUILDINGS IN THE DOWNTOWN CORE WERE HEATED BY STEAM. SOME STILL ARE, BUT MOST HAVE SWITCHED FROM STEAM TO HOT WATER. THE GENERATING STATION STILL PRODUCES STEAM. PLANTERS ARE PLACED ALONG THE SIDEWALKS TO BEAUTIFY THE STEAM VENTS. SOME OF THE STEAM ACTUALLY POWERS A CLOCK IN GASTOWN. THE STEAM, ESCAPING FROM THE VENTS ALSO HEATS PEOPLE WHO SLEEP IN THE STREETS. IN THE WINTER YOU WILL FIND THEM CURLED UP AGAINST THE PLANTERS. |
