#dailycolonist1915 - The news out of Victoria, British Columbia, 100 years ago:

This is the largest post in this series to date, with 85 "clippings". There are huge Canadian casualty lists from Ypres, anti-German rioting throughout the British Empire, lots of news about the sinking of the Lusitania, fighting continues at Gallipoli, and local news about transit and "ride-sharing" that has a striking relevancy today.

#dailycolonist1915 - The news out of Victoria, British Columbia, 100 years ago:

News from Ypres continues to dominate the news this week, with Gallipoli taking second seat until another huge milestone of the war, the sinking of the R.M.S. Lusitania, takes place on the 7th, with the news reaching Victoria on the 8th. It seems the endless grim lists of casualties punctuated by the sinking of the Lusitania is too much for some, and anti-German riots break out in Victoria.

I am curious, what does Gothic BC mean to you? Has this little project of mine had a positive effect on your life? Does it matter you? Tell me your story. 

You may have noticed I haven't been out and about as much for a while now. There have been a few personal things that have undermined my motivation and I'm looking to you all to help me get inspired again. Has my absence been felt?

I've been slowly but surely updating things here to be mobile-friendly so Google doesn't hate me. There still a few glitches here and there to get to, but I am starting to feel like maybe what I have done doesn't completely suck.
