Driving Through Vernon BC On the way to Vancouver | Canada

[@tonya.1697]

i am just comparing your recent West Kelowna hwy drive versus this Vernon hwy drive. West kelowna seems so....i dunno how to put it....Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.. Like no downtown, no character, just one long highway strip mall. I know they have nice parks and beaches away from the highway. And some very nice middle upper class / luxury homes and townhomes/condos. But at least vernon has something going on away from the main highway. a downtown, some very nice neighborhoods from working class to the wealthy. West Kelowna reminds me of driving along the lougheed hwy past Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows.....gas station, fast food outlets, strip malls. Industrial lots, electronics, furniture type stores....ZZZzzzz. Roar of traffic , you don't even want to walk on the sidewalks, use the car to where to go. No big leafy trees or little parks with green space, water fountains to go cool off in a typical hot Okanagan summer day. Ughh.
