back to hair:


My hair at the moment. That's Coldplay's bassist.

I LIKE that hair.

  Anyways....the trip to Duncan wasn't specifically to 'go to Walmart'.....although we were curious to see what a 'Super Walmart' was.  Mainly, we were just 'on tour'.  Every once in a while, we like to drive down roads that we have passed a million times, but never gone down.  It's fun.....and you discover all kinds of things that you never knew were right under your nose.

Here is that magnificent rhodo.  (that is a three story house it is in front of !)

  Of course we didn't realize untill we were driving away, that there was a better angle from the bottom side of the hill.....but I think these still show how incredible it is.

Holy rhodo, Batman!

Isn't that something !?  The perspective doesn't do justice to it's actual humongous proportion.

Is the house made of glass bottles still there?

We didn't go quite that far, so I'm not sure.  I think that is closer to Whippletree Junction, which is past Duncan.  After Duncan, we took the back road through to Chemainus.....such a cute little town.  Not much more than a couple blocks long, but some neat places and houses there.

Well, Duncan's got a long ways to go to become a Tourist Haven....lol

holy cow.
Duncan to me is just the centre of the Cowichan area and the Southern Gulf Islands.
But retail has already left the Clocktower area so, Duncan (old part) will become a ghost town of empty buildings eventually. Reminds me of Murphysboro which has an awesome historical core, that's all boarded up now because of the Walmart which is away from the centre. Everything moved around this Walmart (which has now moved even further away leaving an empty strip mall in its wake). Murphy died, it's not coming back. Walmart the assassin.

Duncan isn't on it's way down....it's never been up.  And it isn't the center of anything.....except maybe a doughnut.  With or without Walmart.....Duncan will always be Dunkin.
