Awesome thread;

A couple of years ago the Vancouver Archives had an open house and they were giving away some prints of theirs for free. I took this one and hung it up in our walk in closet:

Granville Street circa 1900:


Vancouver was founded 14 years earlier. The "parade" in the picture, I was told, are local military recruits heading off to the Boer War. The teepees are barracks.

It's very bizarre, and unfortunate. BC has always had the reputation in Canada as the "Wild West" when it comes to government corruption. It makes me really wonder how much tax payer money has been siphoned away to darker means, rather than improving the much needed infrastructure this city really requires. It's baffling to me.
I've been living in the GTA for almost a year now and traffic is just as bad here, if not worse. I also lived near Montreal for 5 months last year and the traffic is terrible there too.

I've come to realize that there's only so much $$ you can spend on infrastructure on the 2nd largest (by landmass) country in the world using taxes collected from a population size less than that of the state of California....

I was listening to music on the ol' stere-O.

Gawd I love music. Been a musician all my life. I often wAndered how I even got into music and it dawned on me. I lived on Powell Street above a fricken Cabaret/Nightclub. The Phoenix Nightclub. Flashing neon lights outside the bedroom and dat bass. Went to sleep listening to music from downstairs. Anyway.............

any streets in the lower mainland with well-preserved historic homes that isn't all like $10M+ mansions?

like the modest sized houses in the mt. pleasant and kits area, but less dumpy looking?

Chong Lee building on the corner of Rupert and 22nd Avenue is no more. It used to be a Stongs, years ago. Anyone know what it was before that?

That building (built in the 50's) was re-developed several times over the decades. Someone older and familiar with the area can confirm but previous research indicated it might have been some sort of mechanic/auto-related business. Originally, the building was a mix of small businesses with no major anchor tenant.

Actually, before Stong's left the area, it was originally located kitty corner during the 60-70s, where the 7-Eleven is now.

It’s sad to see Lucky Bakery close down.It was between the 7-Eleven and The restaurant. Next to some nail/salon place. The cakes and whatnot were okay, but the owner was a nice guy. Very hard worker. I supported his business as long as I could. I moved out of the area, but kept going there. Christmas and birthday cakes. Got their buns on a weekly basis. Hope he retired and not leave because he went broke.

That comic shop must be a front or something. How does it stay in business?

Owns the building, lives upstairs............. that’ll work. Have your cake and eat it, too. No connection to Lucky Bakery. Maybe the baker’s rent was too high and he’s opened up shop somewheres else. He seemed to like what he was doing. Maybe he works for someone else now. A really good friend of mine owned a stereo shop in Richmond. He was doing well, but he realized working for someone else made way more sense. Less headache. Let someone else worry about running the business.

I think the guy retired, it was last year or the year before I think.

The 7-11 complex is getting demolished, going to have more condos there if what I heard is correct - the lot got sold. The hair salon is moving down to where Prince Seafood Restaurant is, no idea where e.Tea or the other shops are moving to.
