Having your haircut by a Maple Leaf barber. Anybody still remember, getting a crew cut close to the corner of Robson and Granville.
How about The Book Bin and the Ham Shack, a couple blocks from the Granville Bridge, just browsing around places? There were ample. Mostly independent businesses, devoid of much of today’s corporate glitz, those memories might take you back.
The warm special easy going feeling the city once had. In the nineteen fifties a coffee and a scoop of ice cream was not much more than two bits. At night, the neon lights, the people, what once was.
The Sky Diner, Scotts, the old Canadian dollar bill. The beautiful silver fifty cent piece and Kerrisdale, dial-up phones, and in the West End, made from BC lumber, affordable quaint wooden homes.
