This Day in History, 1956: Little Richard rips it up at the Kerrisdale Arena (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bill Haley and the Comets played Vancouver’s first rock ‘n’ roll concert on June 27, 1956. But no one would ever accuse Bill Haley of being wild. Well, they might, but they’d be wrong. Little Richard, on the other hand, was genuinely wild. And when he played the Kerrisdale Arena on Sept. 24, 1956, he caused quite a kerfuffle. “Teen-agers Mob Rock, Roll Singer,” read a headline in the Sept. 25, 1956 Vancouver Sun. “A rock ’n concert turned into a near riot in Kerrisdale Arena Monday night. Benche
Historic building with stone facade torn down on Vancouver's Main Street (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During Vancouver’s pioneering days, many commercial buildings had a stone facade. But precious few have survived — and one of them just got demolished at 327 Main St. The modest two-storey building was built in 1903, when Main Street was called Westminster Avenue. But it wasn’t on the city’s heritage register, and as a commercial structure, the city said no recycling was required as it was torn down. This was evident last week, when a worker on a lift was smashing through second-storey windows w
Coquitlam houses find a new home in Haida Gwaii (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Glyn Lewis of Renewal Development has saved several houses in Metro Vancouver from demolition and relocated them up the coast. But there was a problem. In remote locations, there isn’t always the workers or materials to do renos at the other end. “If you want to upgrade the electrical, if you want to upgrade the windows in a really remote community, it can be really challenging,” he explains. “You don’t have Home Depot, you don’t have trades, you don’t have contractors. So it’s costly, it’s time
This Week in History, 1920: Teddy Lyons delights kids from the B.C. Electric observation car (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When streetcars plied Vancouver streets, one of the most popular tourist attractions was the B.C. Electric observation car. From late May until the end of September, people would clamber aboard the open-air streetcar, which had no roof. You often see panorama photos of people riding in the observation car. The conductors had a deal with photographer Harry Bullens: Early in the ride the observation car would stop in front of his studio, the conductors would point out some feature on a building, t
This Week in History, 1945: The Flashlight Burglar targets Yvonne De Carlo's jewels (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was all crime all the time in the Sept. 4, 1945, edition of The Vancouver Sun. The rest of the world was celebrating the signing of a peace treaty aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay that officially ended the Second World War. But locally, the banner story was that some “nogoodnik” had broken into a Kerrisdale home housing Vancouver’s first major movie star, Yvonne De Carlo. “Brazenly risking arrest, Vamcouver’s flashlight burglar paid two visits Monday — only 16 hours apart — to the home of
