I'm pretty young compared to some of the stuff mentioned but I do remember a few things.

I am old enough to remember Woodwards and the LEGOLAND display. The 6th floor was a kids dream at any time of year let alone at Christmas.

I remember going to Gastown as a kid when the Skytrain first opened. Back then, we had to catch it from New West as we lived way out in the valley. No bridge to Surrey at that time. There was this neat place called 'The Meatmarket' in Gastown near the old spaghetti factory.

I actually have tickets from Expo 86 (family had a season's pass) and even have skytrain tickets from 1986. I was a little kid then but I remember Expo really well.

Prices are one thing I remember. Back in 1985, I remember my dad was starting a business and was stressed out because he had a $50,000 mortgage on a brand new home on 5 acres in Langley.

I'm starting to feel old but it makes me understand how old people will think back to when they were little and how it just felt so much 'better'.
