Very nice. Had to pause several times to take it in. I had my 23rd birthday dinner in the Seven Seas floating restaurant, cold buffet of 40 items, hot buffet of 20 items. A dinner to remember.
-
Ahhh.....I remember that Vancouver.....growing up on the North slope of Burnaby in the 50's and 60's....back pre Expo...when Vancouver was still liveable and affordable.
-
Early 20's and just moved to North Vancouver and worked downtown Vancouver, remember the 7 Seas Restaurant and the one in New Westminster. Seeing those old cars, remind me of my new 1968 Fairlane 500 was pretty proud of the first car!
-
I was Building Operator at The Vancouver Block, and i found it interesting, seeing in the video, the Gulf Oil Sign on the top of Clock Tower roof, where i have stood.
-
I was in high school in North Vancouver in 1969. It was a wonderful time.
-
Very nice. At that time I was 9, living near the PNE grounds. Great childhood growing up in Vancouver. Fond memories!
-
What great city Vancouver was.
-
thats the city i loved growing up in , i had to read all the comments and read the people names just in case I knew any of them,
-
the year i was born sweet. VGH has torn the building i was born in. man the video is all over the place, starts in vancouver quick shots of victoria then back to vancouver. So cool to see the neon lights on granville
-
Vancouver looks so inviting in all these vintage van videos on youtube! I think I know one reason why: it never rains!! ha ha
-
Look at all that vehicle traffic on the Granville street strip !
-
The roads seems to be a lot wider in those days.
-
We moved from Vancouver to Toronto in late 1969 when I was 7. Even at that young age I knew what a drag it was. Now living in Victoria….the best spot on earth.😊👍🏾
-
It was incomparably beautiful. A paradise, but it had to be plowed over and erased. We will never again see these types of environments because they have been permanently erased. The thousands of generations to come have been robbed. I am sick inside, and enraged when I watch this.
-
that little kid fishing is in his 60's now .. wow
-
Notice how people were more civilized without the internet influence! No garbage lying around or graffiti everywhere! So clean, and disciplined children! Great times for sure and glad I grew up in those times!
-
Thanks for the memories!! Wow!
-
Back when Vancouver was a GREAT city. The world did not know we existed. 1950s & 1960 were 2 great decades to grow up in Vancouver. Now (2022) just an overcrowded place full of ill-mannered boors.

The neon lights in Vancouver were more numerous in the 1960s than Las Vegas until the eternal brain trust at city hall deemed them an eyesore and determined that brutalist dark concrete bare structures were the way to go 😢
