Any pics of Richmond circa 1960's? Rchmond was nothing but berry farms.
I haven't looked into Richmond yet, but I'm sure if I find something it'll definitely be work looking into.

MG,
Do you remember anything about Hogan's Alley growing up? As far as I know, it was pretty much abandoned when the viaduct was built through the area and I imagine that was when that London Drugs disappeared.

A quick search turned up this:
Hogan's Alley Memorial Project

There's also some tidbits of Vancouver history on this blog:
Past Tense

Within that, a blurb about LSD in Vancouver:
Acid Al « Past Tense

One thing about Vancouver is that despite its outward appearance, one only needs to scratch the surface to dig up some pretty interesting info from the past.
