    It’s so sad to see that all the rails are taken out of the streets. A city with great public transit is so much fun to live in.

  2. Tyler Ingram says:

    What about West Vancouver when they used to have the ferry, have any photos from that era? Still enjoying seeing all these before and afters

  3. Kimm says:

    I wish there the tracks were still there and still being used.

  4. UBringLiteN says:

    I really like the way 1959 Granville/Robson Street looked. I think it looked better than the current picture.

    Thanks for the pics!

  5. Duane Storey says:

    I really miss the Capitol 6 movie theatre. It was really unique, and I had a lot of great memories there of watching movies with Brennen back in the day.

  6. Excellent pics. Loving this series. Well done.
