Victoria City Hall — Attraction in Victoria

I’ve grown up in this city but it’s become a disgrace and a shame, with particular shame for City Hall Staff.

Do you have a messed up downtown Victoria story too? Sharing that I am boycotting downtown Victoria. I was in a parkade in the dark by myself, turned the corner to find myself within a meter of a man with a foot long dagger held straight up in the air. Ran away and found Security but they didn’t confiscate his weapon. Witnessed a bike being stolen and had to turn and hide because the man noticed me noticing him and I was afraid he’d come after me.

We got back to the car and found a parking ticket timed at 12:43 PM. Fortunately, we kept our receipt and contested the ticket. They canceled the ticket but offered no apology for the inconvenience of contesting the ticket. I never thought Victoria is cash trapped and had to resort to such shady method of raising funds. Had they asked nicely of their American visitors, we would have gladly donated to the Victoria city that 20 CANADIAN DOLLARS or even...
