I wouldn't mind 1930s looking Vancouver, all those trees!
Speaking of which I saw a picture of Nanaimo from the 50s. Wow, talk about small town, *cries* all those trees that are gone.

awesome!

My mom cries when she goes back to Vancouver to visit. She has been gone for 10 years now or so.

 

Her and my dad said Vancouver in the 60s was the best place in the universe.

SD....you should check out UBC on Google Earth.  You wanna see trees in the city ?

I believe them. Now the downtown core has such a density of people that I can hardy walk to work and driving there is just impossible without having ulcers.

My mom always says Vancouver was more laid back than the interior in those days. lol, maybe a little exagerating, but funny.

I imagine Nelson today isn't much different from 1968. Only more tourists around.

lol P.C. I know about the Endowment Lands, but I'd still like the 1938 Vancouver, the city looks like it was planted in the wild.
