Most of them from the 1940's and 1950's. I've always had a fascination with vintage photos, so I started scanning them and putting them on a web site.

There are several shots of Nanaimo in the collection. I just finished scanned the first one, it's available here: http://vintageairphotos.com/55-7/

I've been trying to post a new photo every few days. Be sure to actually click on the images, you'll be able to zoom way in and see a lot more detail.

I'm a director of the Nanaimo Astronomy Society and we are looking at having Westwood Lake a designated International Dark site, as it's great location for viewing the night sky.

Anyway here you go, Jupiter is the Lower planet.

Oh and btw in just under a month you will be able to see an event you will never see again. Venus will be passing in front of the Sun on the 5th June. It will take about 6 hrs and start at 3.15pm.

The Nanaimo Astronomy society has loads of free Sun-safe glasses that you can use to view through. Contact the club direct if you'd like to use some safe-glasses to view this once in a lifetime event.



Cheers,

Chris

I've been mapping out trails in Nanaimo for about a year now, and find it pretty cool to be able to collaborate all the road, trail, and other data on one map. So far parts of Linley Valley, Planta, Neck Point, upper Glen Oaks,and Westwood have been mapped out by myself, and I encourage you to do the same.

Anyway, this is the site: http://www.openstreetmap.org/, give it a try if you have some GPS Traces saved from a recent hike or trip. If you want, let us know here on the forums what you did.

I'm posting primarily for my partner, as he works in the evenings and is really looking to get engaged in some early morning community groups and activities.

These could range from non-profit activist groups to common-interset, or even just kick-around soccer in the park.

Does anyone know of any morning "anythings" going on in Nanaimo?

Thanks!

On Sunday May 20, there will be a partial solar eclipse viewable from Nanaimo as the moon moves between us and the sun.

Volunteers from the Nanaimo Astronomy Society will be giving the public a chance to view the partial eclipse safely from Maffeo Sutton Park.

We will have some solar telescopes set up along with a large number of eclipse glasses that people can use at the event to view the eclipse.

The eclipse should be visible just before 2 PM and will remain visible until after 7 PM.

WARNING: It is VERY IMPORTANT that you do not look at the eclipse with binoculars or standard telescopes.
If you do, you run the risk of severe damage to your eyes. ]]> ebusinesstutor http://www.nanaimoinformation.com/forum/showthread.php?7424-Partial-Solar-Eclipse-in-Nanaimo <![CDATA[The "new" Ricky's, north Nanaimo]]> http://www.nanaimoinformation.com/forum/showthread.php?7423-The-quot-new-quot-Ricky-s-north-Nanaimo&goto=newpost Thu, 03 May 2012 00:29:39 GMT I use urbanspoon.com but do not see a lot of reviews on there for the newly renovated Ricky's in north Nanaimo.
