Homeless in Vancouver: Rain and fall back together again

Vancouver can boast no super couples  with the star power to rival Hollywood’s Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, or “Brangelina” as they’re popularly conflated.

No “Bennifer” (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez) and no "Hilltons"—that would be former U.S. secretary of state Hillary Clinton and former U.S. president Bill Clinton, if they went in for cheap tabloid portmanteaus, which they don’t.

But Vancouver does have rain and fall, which have hooked up in the city every October for as long as anyone can remember.

Showered with affection or what?

Well it’s that time of year again. When I arrived at the McDonald’s in the 1400 block of West Broadway Avenue at about 7:30 a.m. Thursday, ”rainfall” (as the couple is commonly called)  was picking up where they had left off last evening—hard and heavy. Which is as it should be this time of year.

But sometimes I do wish they’d just get a room somewhere.
