Canadian Press is reporting “Robson Street: A palpable feeling of patriotism<\/a><\/strong>” (emphasis added),<\/p>\n

\n

Vancouver’s downtown Robson Street<\/strong> – a standard-issue urban retail strip in its pre-Olympic life – has blossomed into a vibrant, giddy pedestrian hub, replete with street dancers, skaters, caped patriots wrapped in flags and a crazy popular zip line that hurls screaming participants across the sky every couple of minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With traffic cordoned off near its nexus outside the Vancouver Art Gallery, the street has been transformed from a sea of cars into a tidal wave of cheerful humanity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Throughout the day and night, throngs of people saunter the street, taking in the sights or becoming part of the action themselves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
