Can't afford Vancouver............. would, if I could.
I don't think I can afford the place where I grew up (DTES). So sad.
Moved out to the Valley (White Suburbia / Bible Belt) to get closer to work (Abbotsford). By the time I was ready to move back, too late. House I live in now is half the house, twice the price. I had a very nice place in Walnut Grove. All paid off, too.
I blame it all on Expo 86. We should have stayed a village. https://bcsportshall.com/curator-cor...l-soccer-bowl/ I remember chuckling a bit when I was watching the game at work. Still, better than being named a hamlet.

Any trouble makers got sent to Templeton, then Van Tech. Van Tech was the breeding grounds of the worst of the worst. This, of course, back in my day.
JO was a "who cares," kind of school. Tupper had a bit of a bad rep. Killarney and Windemere, just like JO. Nothing came out of there. Gladstone was interesting, though.
Anyway, school is nothing like it used to be. The only school I knew of from the other side of the tracks, was Magee. Nuff said.
Then there was Notre Dame (private school). Damn football team. No fair. All that money thrown their way. Still, Brit gave them a run for their money.
Bruins vs the Jokers. We had Barry Houlihan. They had Lui Passaglia.
Addendum: I kind of take that back. Brit did have a portable for students with issues. Pregnant girls, drug addicts, basic, "headed to prison," types. They were placed in a portable as far away as possible from the "normal" kids. I think the class was referred to as 8J, or something like that. I don't even think they were mentioned in the yearbook. Speaking of yearbooks, I've gotta find my collection. Such great memories. | Notre Dame wasn’t the jokers, it’s the “jugglers”
And it’s not a juggler like a jester or a joker it’s some sort of religious term which I have a feeling is like an inanimate object lol
My wife went to ND so I always laugh at quite possibly the worst team name that ever existed lol.. she went before the newer school was there and she had all these stories of how her parents were fundraising every fucking weekend for the school doing bingo etc.
I always laugh at that because I went to Fraser heights when it was a brand new public school in 2000 and we had amazing facilities, a fantastic field etc. where as her parents were fund raising for 4 years so that 20 years later they could pay for their nice new turf field lol

Le Jongleur de Notre Dame is a religious miracle story by the French author Anatole France, first printed in a newspaper in 1890, and published in a short story collection in 1892. It is based on an old medieval legend, similar to the later Christmas carol The Little Drummer Boy. The title character is a monk who was formerly a carnival performer. The other monks all have made beautiful works in honor of the Virgin Mary: hymns, icons, stained glass windows, and so on. But he has no such craft. So one night he goes into the chapel and performs his best juggling tricks before the statue of the Virgin. The other monks see this and would punish him for blasphemy, but the statue comes to life and blesses the juggler for his gift.

Honda out there right now searching for a statue of the Virgin Mary and learning to juggle from YouTube.
I think MG1 might be mixing up with John Oliver… their team name is Jokers.

When's the last time you heard of a shanking in a high school? these new kids are much more tame than us. | Last year in Tweedsmuir there was one but I think it was a situation of kid gets jumped and stabs kid jumping him, obviously there was something that lead up to that, I don't really think the schools dangerous.
I believe I've mentioned this before but when I moved to Surrey in 1988 and was in elementary school a kid got stabbed for the same reason. The best part, not expulsion, both kids got suspended a few days and then were back together in the same class room, no way in hell that happens today lol.

There were tons of fights when I was in highschool. There were also multiple stabbings and tons of beltings. I remember going to Patterson station multiple times and watching guys AND girls get stomped. There must have been over 100 kids watching sometimes.
You were either in the Bindy Johal era or the Young and Dangerous era where guys thought they were gangsters. And there were tons of guys dealing drugs and it wasn't uncommon to hear about them getting killed. I know two friends of mine who were shot and killed. That was probably more a function of them being drug dealers than anything, but they still went to school with us.
Van Tech, Templeton, and Brit definitely had reputations as being "rough" as most of the kids that got kicked out of highschools went there, but that didn't exclude the highschools further south of having DD and bad kids.

Went to Fraser heights, which was the opposite of rough lol however interacted with a lot of people from Guildford park etc. which may be considered “rough” at the time. And there was the occasional stabbing etc. one of my best friends first day at north Surrey in like 98 a hand gun fell out of a guys jacket and it was a big thing lol
I’m moreso saying relative to what you’d call “rough” in the states or even many parts of Ontario like Scarborough etc. which had legimate housing ghettos, most of Vancouver was pretty tame.
East van was def much rougher in those early 90’s to 2000’s than today. However a lot of those “bad” kids probably still came from “ok” families. There hasn’t really been a time when the lower mainland was stricken with poverty. It’s probably worse now generally speaking than it ever had been before.
Back then though prior to the internet and the resources available I’m sure a good chunk of the bad kids were from immigrant families who were even moreso oblivious to the idea of assimilating into Canadian society than they are today
Edit* although.. I have a couple friends who went to Fraser heights a few years younger than my and they had classmates that eventually ended up as torsos in shallow graves so I guess it’s who ya know lol

oh for sure, compared to ontario and other east coast places vancouver is tame. But not that we would know, we grew up here and it was already pretty bad.
I recall witnessing a fight at tech, these two dudes going at it. Big crowd of kids egging them on. One of them collapsed on my bicycle, so i beat them both up for scratching my bike. Principle comes up, asked what's going on here?!?! we all said we were just "playing" even though these kids had a black eyes and bleeding noses.
Ah the good ole days.

Growing up in Surrey I probably never thought I’d call East Van home as an adult but what I find interesting is my wife who grew up in the house we live in now recalls times when east van was seemingly rough AF and they had like a block watch to call out drug deals constantly going down, friends and family in the area had their homes broken into quite frequently etc.
Obviously now it’s been incredibly gentrified, but given the societal issues we have presently with homelessness and drug addiction etc. you’d think areas like mine that are in relatively close proximity to the DTES would be as bad if not worse than before. But I guess people Don’t stand for shit like that once it becomes an upper middle class hood and the pressure to police etc. grows.
I get kinda pissed off when we have some friends who live at like main and 16th talk about Hastings sunrise like it’s the core of the DTES, I want to be like bitch, you got fucking crack heads picking cans 5 feet away from your head while you’re sleeping and you think our area is bad? lol we don’t see any of that in our area really yet you think the area honestly, I walk around quite a bit at night and I’m honestly surprised how dead it is (or at least free of seedy characters for the most part)
Also the evolution of technology and the visibility crime gets these days probably has a hand in it as well. Just a thought I always have hearing my wife talk about growing up in the area

Growing up in East Van, I never really heard much news about Surrey. I guess because internet wasn't a thing to get news, so I don't really know how bad it was in the Guildford Park area. I do remember LA Matheson being bad too, but had no experience with Surrey at all.

Guildford park was the first school I ever heard of having a day care for students kids, and that was in the late 90’s/early 2000’s
Although that might have been an urban legend lol

I don't know if it was that bad, I never really had too many issues but I hung around with some big guys in both schools that nobody really wanted to fuck with. There were fights without a doubt, I watched my buddy who is still one of my best friends today beat the shit out of two guys at once at QE throwing one of them down a flight of stairs and pummelling the other one. It's not like violence was a daily thing though or you were scared to walk around the school.

Although that might have been an urban legend lol | Tupper had a program for teen moms in the 90s.
People always asked me "why are there all these yearbook pics with girls holding babies?" When looking through my yearbooks.
Bindy lived next door to a Teacher at Tupper. The teacher's tenant was killed when a hit went wrong. They thought he was Bindy as they both had rotties they walked at night.
