The Olympics have been over for just three days now. I know I am not the only one that feels like something is missing. Its like my best friend is gone.

I went downtown today for the first time since the sea of red on Sunday afternoon. No random high fives. No spontaneous “oh Canada’s”. I walked on Mainland in Yaletown and got honked at by a car….right…. its not a pedestrian zone anymore.

There is a weird quiet in the city. 

 I want it back….
