Another from the area!

I know!

It’s quite different from other parts of the city.

This is the place.

I’d love to do a tour of these in Vancouver. There’s a lot of them still there I understand but they’re disappearing fast too.

Thanks!

Calgary was very progressive back then! Kidding. Not all elements of the street are a time capsule, just some. Take away the massage place, the bars on the window of the store, the bong advertisement and a lot of ’50s flavour comes rushing back.

Thanks for sharing your Parkdale Cres memories!

You wuz?!

So many people coming out of the woodwork who used to live nearby. We love it!

That’s cool!

That’s awesome. What kid then didn’t do a smokes run for the folks?

Too bad there’s so few left.

So cool!

Keep in mind, these buildings were modern once and may have been looked upon as similarly bad at the time.

Yikes! That’s not a place kid would want to go back to.

Our folks used to send us on a smokes run too. What weird times. Thanks for sharing your Parkdale memories.

Awesome, thanks for adding to the story!

We’re hearing from a lot of people who once lived on the crescent.

Awesome, thanks for sharing these memories!

You can remember being three? I can’t recall yesterday! Haha. Seriously, that’s so cool.

Yes, it was on our visit and said in the post, but a new business also has moved in since that time.

Awesome, thanks for sharing your Parkdale memories! This is why we do what we do.

Those ’50s buildings really stand out and they’re utilitarian for sure, but not without some pleasing design elements. Thanks for commenting!
