Later I found out that way down below Howard Hughes had a nice place at the BAYSHORE. Just a little more spacious than MINE. The secret was kept hush, hush, until some sharp reporter made that big SCORE. For the city, what a publicity scoop, for the press, what a HEADLINE!
Good old CBUT had its TV studios half a block AWAY. There were local big names like Ted Reynolds, Bill Good Sr., and shows like ALMANAC. Those times help reprise many a special DAY. They take us nostalgically way BACK. Like the C.B.C. radio studios at the HOTEL VAN. Do you recall Vic Waters on C.J.O.R., broadcasting from the basement of the Grosvenor Hotel, man oh man, oh MAN!
Today you can walk back to so many Vancouver places, including where my tower once WAS. They’re just not there ANYMORE.
