Main & 20th
I guess my interest in old stuff can be chalked up to me getting ‘old’. I find old pictures of Vancouver and recall what used to be at some corner and just shake my head at the gentrification taking over this once lovely place. Again, old…
I’ve noticed that I’m quite taken with old vehicles these days and find it hard not to snap a picture when I see one parked on the street. It’s something that never interested me before but now if I see anything from the 70′s that’s in good shape, I’m taking a picture. Hell, a good dent is just character; there’s almost never any rust. Maybe it’s my way of keeping an archive to look back on in a few years.
Sunday, I found myself snapping pics of one of the few remainin Peep Show places on Granville street after noticing that another one had been boarded up. Not that Granville would be better off with a new 25c Peep Show place but you know their days are numbered. I figured I’d capture one while it was still operating.
Some day I’ll look at the picture and recall when there wasn’t a soulless, steel and glass shoe store or coffee house on that corner.
