Abbotsford

Who would brag about having gone to Abbotsford? It has per capita the highest population of gangsters in BC. It’s split between church-goers (there are a LOT of churches there!) and gangsters. It’s not worth stopping in; there is nothing here that you can’t get somewhere else.

I have lived here twice. Not a place that gets better with it’s age or with my own. I thought I was coming home and I guess I got the wrong home. I love Abbotsford because it is in a beautiful bowl surrounded by some awesome Mountains. I lived on the top of Townline hill once and Mount Baker was all you could see at the top of the hill, out my bedroom window and out my kitchen window. I always thought of the mountains as coming home because I saw it on the way there. FYI, turns out home is where my family is – no longer within in view of Baker. Also visible from most parts of Abbotsford is Sumas mountaing and a gazillion others I can’t remember the names of. The Sumas flats are a gorgeous place to drive through because it feels like youa re driving right to the base of a mountain…although you usually get bored before you get there. Abbotsford is a good place to be if you are a dedicated Christian and that is all you want to do with you life. Otherwise I highly recommend choosing a different city in teh Valley to live in.

I lived around the whole Fraser Valley for most of my younger life (from about 6 to 15 years old, on & off). I love the area & go back whenever I can. I may be American, but that part of Canada has always been the closest thing to home for me.

It’s beautiful. We have lots of parks and there is always something to do here.
