App only. One time use. Valid until September 02.

That's not why the post. I remember the Burger King on Main Street. Good memories. Anyone got pics of the building or a link to it? I also remember the one in Richmond before they moved.
Wonder if it can stack today with Whooper Wednesdays.

I remember when the London Drugs on Victoria and 41st was built, but I don't remember what was there before. Does anyone remember?

Also a lot of the LD around the city are on a strip mall type property where they are the major anchor. Does HY Louie actually own all these properties?

there was a korean congregation at the strathcona church at pender and princess, directly across from the elementary school. i went there from around 2001 to maybe 2005 until i shunned the lord and converted to satanism.

It became an annex at one point. Strath was bursting at the seams when I went. Just under 1500 students. Best hot lunch programme and the meanest bitch of a dentist. We were forced to go. Twice a year................ had nightmares because of her.

Principal Barton was stern but nice. Later, VP Mr. Eton. Lol, we made his life miserable. I think we made him quit.

That pic of the public library bus. It was so cool.

The space where it parked was where we played street hockey.

Safeway!

That development still feels new to me.

Holy crap............ just spent the last hour or so checking out this thread from the beginning. Crazy how things have changed so much since the original post.

Best part is remembering the old members who used to frequent RS back then........
