I think it was at the SW corner of Adanac and Boundary Road in Vancouver. I actually drove by it about 1/2 hour ago.

In the 1940s it is said to have had a walkway with park benches and a copper colored door with bars on the door and windows. It was apparently renovated a number of years ago into seniors' housing.

I remember it too... I was born in North Burnaby on the hill. (1943) Moved to Point Grey in 49... but remember the trolly car rides to Woodwards every weekend.. Taking the underground passage to the groceries dept.. and upstairs to the shoe dept.. to look at my feet in the xray machine. I still may have some ticket stubs which I conned the conductor out of, to play with .. Pink transfer stubs where they would mark the time you got on. I remember a "bad girls school" as my parents used to call it. a few blocks down from Main.. on Casiar. Bet this is still it.. on google earth.. go to.. 49' 16' 36'50 N X 123.01'48'28" W cheers Marv At 05:37 PM 04/02/07, you wrote: >I think it was at the SW corner of Adanac and Boundary Road in Vancouver.
