People around the world come to Vancouver, visit Gastown, and take pictures of the steam clock.
The clock was built in 1977 to cover a steam vent, but the steam damaged the clock parts fairly quickly and it was switched over to electricity.
When that made the news about 10 years ago there was outrage. It was rather funny, why does it make a difference? It’s a neat clock, but it wasn’t old to begin with. I wonder how many people still stop to take photos and think it runs only on steam.
