The charm is all but gone from the Okanagan. I remember growing up amongst apple and plum trees, walking to school through agricultural land and bar hoping with ne’er a care.
Hell, I remember when Leon was like one block of sketch and that was that. Penticton had a bit of a hidden problem, but it was nice, and Vernon was grungy Kelowna.
Man, it’s one of the more beautiful places in the canada but there’s so much that sucks about it. You have a better chance getting laced drugs and threatened for a cig than finding a decent meal after 10. Feels like the whole valley is in life support half the time.
