Pics of people, places, events, skyscapes, etc.
Anyone have historic pics of Powell Street? Between Main and Dunlevy, to be exact. My old neighbourhood.

I was just talking to the wife about this place. We were trying to remember where the old building was. She said it was closer to the white spot and I thought it was closer to the WalMart.

damn.. since im a young-gun (20), i dont have anything to really contribute..
but thanks for the insight! it's really helpful to know how the city you live in came to be.
i've been in the suburbs since kindergarten, so i dont have memories of dt van at all...
i kinda of remember chinatown, which i doubt has changed all that much...

On a happy note, Save On Meat Coffee Shop is still there. Wonder how the burgers are now that there's no meat shop right there?

This was back in the early 90's, and they were located in the mini-mall where the Subway is just before Samosa Garden.
Now, does anyone know where the Minnam's old Dyno is? I know Eurosport had it at one point in time.

Nice enough guy. Biggest beef I had was the place he sent me to have things installed (Installation was inclded in price). Wing Fai Motors on Powell street. Those guys had no idea what they were doing. They went out of business... wAnder why? They're under a new name now or possibly changed ownership.

there used to be another shop near the intersection of clarke and hastings... i can't remember the name though. i remember paying too much for piaa stuff there... if you young kids out there complain about prices today, you should have seen what it was like 10-15 years ago | |
