I grew up in Cedar Cottage, 18th & Commercial, Lord Selkirk School,22nd & Commercial, wonderful memories walking up the cut, short cut to china town1930" 1940's&50's good old swimming hole , Trout Lake, Tram use to rattle our living room windows.
3:50 - I saw the Dayglo Abortions at the Alcazar Theatre in the spring of 1992, Two Dogs F**king was the new album, classic hardcore punk now. They did the Portland PunkFest later that year too, my buddy Andy drove us in his 1979 Chevy Nova (last year for that model, replaced by the Citation in 1980, came back for a 4 year stint from 85-88 then vanished) broke down while we were there, had to get Greyhound bus tickets back to Vancouver. Made money that summer selling beer and weed at Wreck Beach. Wish I could be 22 years old again. Anywho, I digress, the DGAs at the Alcazar Theatre, yeah, good show.
I just wish someone had added a map on the same screen for some of these lesser known locations; Venables, Semlin, etc. Other than that, despite the age of this video, it's actually pretty informative, even for those of us while lived here since the 60's and 70's.
Perhaps a historical report of all of Vancouver's neighbourhood communities. We have such variation. It would be interesting to see how some of these hubs came to be.
Excellent! An 8 minute documentary that holds our attention by concentrating on those interesting broad strokes of Grandview-Woodland's history. This footage is deftly edited, thereby excluding all the extraneous minutiae dredged from defunct contemporary newspapers that clogged the efforts of a less-inspired author.
Awesome neighborhood. Born and lived there until i was about 6. I remember looking up at grouse mountain always wondering what those lights were at night. Kind of sad to see the elementary school Lord Nelson, get torn down recently; have always wanted to walk the halls of that school again but will now only be in my memories.
I was there today. October, 29, 2018. I was looking at the street and knew about the Interurban tracks that used to be there. I wonder what life was like in ALL communities served by the
Interurbans. Grandview-Woodland was connected to Sapperton, all though miles apart.
The Canada comes down to beauty...
And not an "East Village" in sight - as it is and should be.
Sure wish these architectural examples were presented in chronological order. Why jump back and forth through time??
Can you get your Burnaby associates to make a similar video about Burnaby?
Had to stop watching due to the super annoying sound effect of the captions. Please stop doing that.
Its the transition of the still pictures. The archieve pictures contain a lot of info. The unnecessary transition fade in and out, zoom in and out , cropping the picture to fake panning and shutter sound distract and avoid the viewers from these valuable information. Very disapointted presentation ruin the relativly clear script.
Most annoying narration
The Vancouver/Grandview plan to complete the ongoing destruction of Vancouver - what is the objective of Mega Cities ?
To house people, facilitate commerce and to feed people.
Except for the horrible map "attack" at 0:10, nice video.
How much did you pay for this video? 5 million dollars?
How do they manage to make these history lessons so dreary and boring? That’s what happens when it’s left to the politically correct municipal bureaucracy. That didn’t bring it to life it firmly put it in the grave. Yawn
Left out was the good influence of Christianity in the community over the past many years but as usual it's not politically correct to announce !.
Left out was the bad influence of Christianity. The Christians were cruel to the First Nations. Forbade them from using their own language. Residential schools etc....
Leave religion out of this, look at what they did. Shame on you for even bringing it up.
Good influence? Are you kidding?
Well obviously, from the comments, you were spot on with your 'not
politically correct' statement.
classicrockcafe the self hating liberal cucks are going to crucify you for that comment
