Lotusland 8

To delight and baffle you once again, it’s Lotusland 8! Doc and Sue dig into the history of Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighborhood from its beginnings as a campsite for the locals (and one amusing squatter), to its 60s incarnation as a hippie enclave, man, and its present-day form as an infestation of yuppies. As part of our 2010 Olympics coverage, we investigate how they get the Olympic flame from place to place, and finally we cross Capilano Canyon on a wobbly suspension bridge (bring your Gravol©). Also, a small series of almost unexplainable comedy bits that really don’t have anything to do with the show.
