Vancouver’s streetcar system began on 28 June 1890 and ran from the (first) Granville Street Bridge to Westminster Avenue (now Main Street). Less than a year later, the Westminster and Vancouver Tramway Company began operating Canada’s first interurban line between the two cities, which encouraged residential neighbourhoods outside the central core to develop.

Why I recommend São Paulo to visitors
Posted: August 27th, 2007, 12:43pm GMT by charlie29
São Paulo is a perfect city, there’s all you want (parks, restaurants, bars, parties, etc…). It’s also a very lively city, so you are never bored, you have always something to do! The best spaces to visit are the Ibirapuera park, the zoo. the Masp museum and the 25th march avenue. However there’s some violence and you need to be careful. But it still is the best city.
