Ferris Road became 49th after amalgamation and a taste for the rational erased whimsy. This 1907 man sits or crouches in the middle of Main and 49th. Perhaps we are looking south as he looks north, or north as south. The perspective is jarring in its flatness. He just might be sitting with a backdrop draped behind him. (CVA) Walk west to Cambie and turn south. More staging. We too look awry as the city shifts, yawns and groans.
