I KNEW IT!
The construction at Granville + Dave started in 1912 and it STILL ISN’T FINISHED!

Hi Rebecca. I’m really enjoying your series and was wondering if you’d consider a theme of educational institutes in Vancouver. From public to private schools and also universities. Might be interesting. Thanks!

Great stuff!! Love the incorporation of Google Street view.
Wow, the causeway has changed so much, sadly.

Hey, Beck. I agree with Tyler; the Google StreetView is a great idea.

Just a question about the view-direction for Main & Hastings, that looks like a west view along Hastings, because from Main, Hastings runs slightly downhill to Carrall. If true, would the caption then be “west down Hastings”?

I wondered what happened to that arch for Stanley Park. I’ve seen its photo creep up here and there around town. Too bad they couldn’t keep it by either expanding it or relocating it.

Cool use of using the StreetView!
