The more hallmark movies I watch the more I'm reminded of the unspoken yet smoulderingly intense rivalry between Victoria and Q City. Hotel de glace Vs fisgard lighthouse fight. Oak bay ave + marina Vs old town. Who will most convincingly spark a romance between a career driven American woman and a stoic small town man slash prince??

Fisgard Lighthouse
Tumblr media
Fisgard Lighthouse, on Fisgard Island at the mouth of Esquimalt Harbour in Colwood, British Columbia, is the first lighthouse on the west coast of Canada.
Tumblr media
The light was constructed in 1960 to provide navigation for the increase of trade as a result of the gold rush of the 1850s. Fisgard served the maritime traffic of the Esquimalt Harbour under various lighthouse keepers until 1928 when it was automated. To this day the light is still an active aid to navigation for the harbour.
Tumblr media
It was declared a national historic site in 1960 to commemorate its centennial year. Fisgard was restored to its original apperance thru the 1970s and 80s, along with reconstruction to its boathouse and storehouse. The keeper's house currently houses a museum dedicated to the history of the Fisgard and other lighthouses of Britich Columbia.

Week 23.5/52: June 6th - June 12th 2022 | Day off in Victoria! 🏯
Omg such an eventful day!! At last, after 4 days of working, we had a day off in Vic LOL so I went to explore with Matt ☀️ ! The weather was super weird on this day because it was switching from hot to cold on a secondly basis jhfsjkagh honestly so annoying wtf. Our first stop was fish and chips at Red Fish Blue Fish. The lineup was SUPER long... took us an hour to order and get food 😭😭😭 but it was truly very yum!! IDK if it was worth the wait because we had to eat outside and the wind was going 100km/h LOOOOL legit so cold but also worth because yum hahahahah. Walked around downtown (BC Parliament building area) and fisherman’s wharf after eating. Walked a lot on this day basically. The fisherman’s wharf was SOOOO pretty (infinitely nicer than Steveston hahahaha) and colourful!!! Made such nice photos. Next stop was Craigdarroch Castle. Such a cute home of some princess hahhaahhaa I love it!!!! Actually so pretty. We went back to airbnb to rest for a little bit before heading out to Hatley Castle (actually wanted to go to Fisgard lighthouse but they were closed). My second time here and I love it still!! Saw some peacocks here too LOL so much nature in Victoria.

….the end of a memorable journey…. Wishing our long time neighbours Fisgard Market Ken + his family all the best in their next adventure. We have been neighbours with Fisgard Market for as long as I can remember growing up as little girl. My favourite memory is running into WLY to see mom, eating my favourite curry chicken vermicelli (I miss that dish!), and ask mom to take me next door to buy white rabbit candies and chocolate dipped pocky. Every weekend I did this for years and I will cherish this memory forever 💛 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/7QTF690

随着房地产市场放缓,昂贵的过桥抵押贷款成为越来越普遍的最后手段
根据加拿大房地产协会的最新报告,加拿大的平均房屋价值在短短三个月内就贬值了 12.9%。 这几乎是每周 1%。 如果您正在出售房屋并且没有受到任何叮咬,那么您的血压可能正在上升——尤其是如果您需要该房屋的净值来购买新房屋。 对于那些处于这种困境中的人来说,一种解决方案是过桥贷款。 这就是贷方向您借出足够的钱来支付新购买的首付的地方。 但这就是问题所在。 如果您的新房和现房都没有确定的买卖协议,主流贷方通常不会为您提供桥梁。 对于没有其他流动性的购房者来说,非主要贷款机构有时是在现有房屋售出之前桥接新购买的唯一途径。 据美国历史最悠久的抵押贷款投资公司 (MIC) 之一的 Fisgard 高级副总裁哈利·诺布尔 (Hali Noble) 称,过去 6 到 8 周,桥梁咨询量显着增加。 她说,借款人越来越担心能否完成购买或以低于预期的价格出售。 如果您已经购买了另一处房屋,但您当前的房屋在…
