Things that Used to Make Us Happy? (75 pics) | Redrif

Enjoy, definitely put a smile on my face reminiscing the good ol days.

i remember when Richmond Centre mall was Richmond Centre AND Richmond Mall,
and when cambie school used to be where president plaza is now standing.
getting groceries at the safeway that used to be at Lansdowne mall.

fuck i even remember the drags that used to happen on 5 road and 6 road back when there was nothing there, and when that got heaty going to the drags at the bottom of boundary road. sigh memories

anyone remember sound image that was on 3 road and worksport that was on shell and cambie?

I'm old enough to remember the Seabus painted orange.

The Seabus isn't still orange?

I remember when you lined up at a mall, usually overnight, to get concert tickets.

..when Coquitlam Centre was built and there was not much out there. That Sears was the only store at Metrotown and the Super Valu where Uncle Willy's is now had a diner.

...in the summer time all the kids in the neighborhood would play kick the can until it was dark and our parents just yelled out the front door for us to come in.

....first computer was a comodore 64.

Woooow dude, thanks for that!

I remember getting one of these as a kid and, suddenly, all my random matchbox cars were laid out all over this rag.


3pm is when school ended. 3:30pm, I would get home and flip the TV on for THE CROCODILE HUNTA! Rip.

Geez where do I even start.

Here's just a few I can remember atm.

- When I was able to smoke in a mall
- When Oakridge Mall, Richmond Centre, and Brentwood all had an arcade
- When McDonalds chicken nuggets had a mix of both dark and white meat
- When Athletes World didn't sell HipHop clothing
- When Planet Superstar was around

There's just too many but I'll leave it at this for now.

... that this gives me a case of the giggles.

....and the full-serve stations had the rubber hose (ding-ding) and when you bought more than 40 or 50 litres of gas you'd get free knives and drinking glasses and stuff.


LG73? I had to tape the top 6 at 6 so I could make a mix tape while the tape was taping but before I could tape, I had to Scotch tape the tape so it would tape. (in high speed dubbing...lol)
