Okay, so after I wrote up my last post I realized that I had a few more things to say: like that THERE ARE MORE GEEKY THINGS IN VANCOUVER TO TALK ABOUT! And these things I’m super excited to share! So, here’s the part 2 to my post from this weekend. Who knew Vancouver could have so many geeky things – I actually ran out of time to explore them all!
If you have anything that I missed, feel free to let me know in the comment section, below!
TV shows filming in Vancouver:
Obviously there are tons of shows that are being filmed in Canada, but most notably for me are the ones listed below:
- Arrow (currently)
- Flash (currently)
- iZombie (currently)
- DC Legends (currently)
- Once Upon A Time In Wonderland (not current, but one of my favorite shows of all-time)
- Once Upon A Time (currently)
- Supernatural (currently)
The best part? You can follow along with WHERE these shows (and more!) are filming by stalking them with this handy guide!
Where To Find Some Geeky Reads:
Vancouver Public Library
The Vancouver library was built as a structure inspired by the colosseum, and it’s quite a spectacle. While I was a little bit skeptical from the outside, the inside of the library was stunning and SEVEN stories high! I’m not gonna lie, I felt a little sick when looking down through the all glass windows that surround one side. Every type of book you could imagine was there including some great titles that coincide with geek favorites, such as Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings.
Albion Books
If you go to a bookstore for happy-go-lucky employees then you may want to stop by your local Barnes and Nobel, but if you’re there for the books this second hand book stop is amazing. Not only did I find a first edition copy of Outlander there for $5, but I also found some beautiful vintage Charles Dickens works for about $10. Some prices were weirdly high, but overall I think this is a great stop for book lovers. The best part? There are three other book stores within a two block distance that you can also walk to!
