This is a town that is shaped like a bowl with cut banks surrounding a majority of the city and its residents. </span><span class="text_exposed_show">The thing about living in a bowl is that air passing over top, much like the mountain ranges, swoops down from the hills, billows in the bottom and just rolls around like the old west. Being up north, Prince George is subject to long, cold winters filled with snow and ice. Street crews are kept busy all winter sanding and salting road ways to keep them safe. The flip side of this safety comes in spring with the melt. Roads are left dusty and riddled with gravel, and the air holds all of this for the residents to inhale.</span></p> <p><span class="text_exposed_show">Read more here:<a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.airhealthbc.ca%2Fabout.htmThis&h=dAQHoHraT&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.airhealthbc.ca/about.htm" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.airhealthbc.ca/about.htm" target="_blank">http://www.airhealthbc.ca/about.htm</a></a><br/><br/>This series is dedicated to the asthmatic feeling of being unable to breath in an environment that is supposed to be safe.
