The Aristocratic Restaurant off Broadway and Granville and another one off Smythe on Granville’s Theatre row. A Vancouver mayor named Campbell and all those visions of the past, many of us recall such as Wosks, Fields, Foncie, and the always smiling street photographer. Clarke and Stewart and Wilson Stationary, Maple Leaf Barbers on Robson, some of us prefer to reflect nostalgically on its original chemistry.
The Cave, Isys, Howie Bateman’s Inquisition, The Ritz, Alcazar and Devonshire Hotels. Then there is The Strand Theatre, Phil Gaglardi’s B.C. highways mission, as well as the days of Social Credit and the CCF, we remember so well.
Trader Vic's at the Bayshore, Jack Webster, Jack Wasserman and Pat Burns, Jack Cullens Owl Prowl, Woodwards Department Store. Peoples Credit Jewellers, HFC, “never borrow money needlessly but if you must”, for those times many of us still yearn.
