MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS:
Do you remember when wooden rulers were still available UP HERE? At stationery stores like Clarke and Stewart, before the days of photo copy MACHINES. How about Foncie, the Granville Street photographer and Uncle Ben’s LAGER BEER? A few things have changed, it SEEMS.
There was the main Vancouver Public Library on BURRARD. Bicycles you could rent ‘for a song’ at the Stanley Park ENTRANCE. Fifty Cents for a White Spot burger. Times were really HARD. In the paper, Eric Nichol’s column. We enjoyed every SENTENCE. There was the PNE parade that began from DOWNTOWN. Do you recall the British Empire Games. Some seniors might even suggest, better to having been ‘yesterday’ born and to remember than to celebrate some of today’s technological and politically correct GAINS.
Besides the sights of old Vancouver what excites are the entertainers and shows of the past.
