Welcome to Vancouver! I am Aria, and I am so pumped to be your guide today. History is not just what happened... it is what barely survived. Think of the sheer grit it took to build this place from the ground up! We are walking streets where pioneers like Esther Short literally stood their ground. We will uncover wild tales of near disasters and the grassroots fire that kept the heart of Vancouver beating. You can almost smell the woodsmoke from the old mills and hear the lively music of historic neighborhood gatherings where everyday folks simply refused to give up. As you explore, the audio plays automatically at each stop, but you can manually play it anytime. A handy map is right there in your app, and feel free to ask questions in the chat! Just keep an eye out for passing cyclists and busy downtown crosswalks as you walk. Are you ready? Make your way to the waterfront, where a century old promise was finally kept. Head straight for Vancouver Waterfront Park!
