Nanaimo means " Gathering Place" from the traditional Native people Hul'q'umin'um' language. Downtown Nanaimo is considered the Heart of the City. It is blessed to have a spectacular waterfront, excellent transportation links, diverse shopping, arts and and cultural events which attract residents, tourists and visitors from all parts of Canada and abroad. Today's posting only shows just a sampling of what Nanaimo downtown area has to offer, most notably the revitalized area called the Old City Quarter and the waterfront area. Nanaimo is truly an exciting place to enjoy and visit!
The second photo just below the first one was a picture of my wife's Auntie Kathy's former house converted now into a real funky Mid-Eastern restaurant! We've been there a few times and they really turned it into a fine dining establishment!
ReplyDeleteThis really is a good sampling of what Nanaimo has to offer. Perhaps show also some night clubs or casino where tourists can spend the night away. Good photos.
ReplyDeleteI am saving for that. I have to plan for future postings so I won't run out of photos ..hehehe. Thnx for the comment!
