San Franciscans passing through Justin Herman Plaza May 17th got a big surprise!
Tourism British Columbia flipped the switch on the BC Moments Machine which is a one of a kind, 14-foot tall, 10-foot wide vending machine. The BC Moments Machine offered items like mountain bikes, kayaks and made in BC surfboards.
