When I grew up and got into Pile driving L.U. 2404 in Vancouver I remembered and went to Pierre Paris around 1980 and bought a pair of really heavy duty boots from them.
They really were every thing that their reputation stood for, And they seemed to be water proof brand new , They lasted for many years and I was very happy with these Boots …now I’m in my 60’s and not doing any more heavy work…

The downtown eastside is actually a real community but its problems are largely the result of city policy over many decades, a practice of segregation and containment and other policies that continue today. Stan Douglas’ new piece for the Woodward’s building recreates an event in the early 1970s that was an early chapter in this policy – I’ll write about that when it launches.

What does the Paris Block look like nowadays? I didn’t see any photos at that link that you provided.

I didn’t realized that there will be a bridge connecting North Vancouver and Vancouver via a thoroughfare that cuts through the heart of, I think, Downtown Eastside. When did this proposal get approved? I used to be rather up to date what was going on in the DE area when I was doing my undergraduate studies in geography.
