VANCOUVER NOSTALGIA
Skating for the first time at the Kerrisdale Arena;
playing badminton and table tennis at the Dunbar Community Centre.
The old Shrine Circus on the PNE grounds and a clown playing a concertina. Perhaps many a warm Vancouver memory or two will enter.
Possibly a vision of the old Birks Building at the corner of Granville and Georgia Street
or watching an original showboat stage production in Kitsilano
or experiencing the delightful taste of a lemon chiffon pie at Scotts Restaurant, what a treat.
Can you visualize the old CPR ferry coming into Vancouver harbour from Nanaimo?
Do you recall Lasseters Den, off Commercial and Broadway?
Maybe the Bunkhouse and River Queen Club on Davie.
In 1954, the British Empire Games, witnessing the Bannister and Landy run, eh. Anybody out there recall seeing the Everly Brothers at Isys Supper Club on Georgia singing There Goes My Baby?
