These vida are great since they show more of Coquitlam than just the mall or skytrain or most frequented roads/walkways. It's like a video version of "travelling" via Google maps.
One thing I like is that these are places that locals would probably know but not far away from the most frequented places that it's basically "unknown".

Thank you for your positive feedback! I'm glad you enjoy the videos and appreciate the opportunity to showcase lesser-known aspects of Coquitlam beyond the usual spots. It's rewarding to offer viewers a unique perspective and highlight places that may be familiar to locals but aren't often featured in mainstream content. Creating a video version of "travelling" via Google Maps is an interesting comparison, and I'm honored to provide that experience for you. Stay tuned for more videos exploring the hidden gems of Coquitlam!

​@@Canada.WalkingTours Some things that could be added to the list of Coquitlam ideas is to add in strip malls that are "majority minority". For example, at Glen and Johnson, a walkabout that shows all those stores would showcase Assi Market that offers Korean foods. Lincoln Center has lots of stores as well. Henderson Place has New Pacific Market that offers Chinese foods and the food court is always a favourite of mine. Even mini-videos of walking around Kensington Plaza on The High Street is worthwhile -- very little there, but that could be part of the appeal since it's not a place many people would go and it's very easy to become a recognizable regular there.
In short, although Coquitlam Center gets most of the attention, it's all the blocks around Coquitlam Center that really showcase what living in Coquitlam could be like for those who take the time to walk around and explore the place they live. Although I've definately had the same old soft drinks and the typical fast food at the food court, and been to Walmart, Best Buy, or London Drugs, or Purdy's, T+T, etc., I have also loved going to a completely new food business, looking a menu and not being able to read anything on it and having to pay only in cash.

Thank you for sharing these fantastic suggestions for showcasing the diversity and unique experiences in Coquitlam! Exploring places such as Glen and Johnson, Lincoln Center, and Henderson Place, sounds like an excellent idea. Additionally, the idea of featuring lesser-known spots like Kensington Plaza on The High Street adds an intriguing twist, as these places often hold hidden gems waiting to be discovered.
You're absolutely right that while Coquitlam Center may receive much of the spotlight, it's the surrounding blocks and neighborhoods that truly capture the essence of living in Coquitlam.
I appreciate your insightful commentary, and I'll definitely consider incorporating these suggestions into my April's videos to provide a more comprehensive view of Coquitlam. Your input is invaluable in shaping the content and ensuring it resonates with the community. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and enriching the conversation!
