Richmond has one of the few remaining electronics districts in the country worth walking. The upstairs units and mall corridors around President Plaza, Aberdeen Centre and Parker Place hold independent shops dealing in phones, laptops, components, cameras, drones and audio, often with a repair bench at the back and imported stock on the shelf beside it.
The national chains are where you would expect: Richmond Centre, Ironwood and the big-box strip near Bridgeport. Between the two ends sit custom computer builders, data-recovery outfits, and camera specialists who supply the wedding and event photographers working Garry Point and Terra Nova. Listings note hours and whether repairs are handled in-house.

The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.
Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.
The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
