ONE SWEET RIDE: Twenty dollars will take you a long way on public transit. Back a century in time, in fact, if you spend it on the just-released DVD City Reflections: 1906-Vancouver-2007. Its basis is downtown streets of the then-21year-old city filmed from a streetcar as it narrowly avoided jaywalkers, dogs, horse-drawn vehicles and endless horse droppings. There’s footage of the same route filmed a century later, a soundtrack by various worthies, and extensive coverage of buildings and other facilities the streetcar passed. E-mail info@cityreflections.ca to enjoy this remarkable $20 ride.
