			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" title="Coat of Arms of Sooke" src="http://www.ngw.nl/int/can/images/sooke.jpg" alt="" width="106" height="113" />Honestly! I live in Sooke BC, a town filled with beautiful and kind people. It has a surrounding world-class landscape that is second-to-none.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: center;">"Where the rainforest meets the sea."<br />
(see <a title="Coat of arms of Sooke" href="http://www.ngw.nl/int/can/sooke.htm" target="_blank">here</a> for the heraldry)</h6>
<p>But when my cousin from Europe came to visit, I got to see the town through her eyes. It's an incredibly squalid, ugly, grey little town, where the first building with any visual impact is a grey sheet metal building. Lovely owner. Horrible eyesore. This introduction is then followed by the equally dismal. Intermittent sidewalks. A leveling of trees. A quarter of a <img class="alignright" style="border-image: initial; border-width: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid;" title="Downtown Sooke" src="http://www.blvdgroup.ca/website_images/project_images/prelim_sooke.jpg" alt="" width="185" height="144" />traffic circle. Concrete traffic islands that direct left-hand turning vehicles into oncoming traffice. Gas stations that kiss the non-existent sidewalks. A few years back they tore up the sides of the road to put in sewer pipes, and then returned the roads to their prior condition -- no sidewalks, no beauty, just slabs of tarmac.</p>
<p>Google it. You'll find beautiful pictures of nature. And only this pic (on the right) showing the "downtown." Why? Because there's very little to look at.</p>
<p>Nice people, shame about the place!</p>

Sigh.  We live in a town that highlights nature: "Where the rain-forest meets the sea" we boast.
