On our way out to the coast- again- just had to stop and visit this cute little Art Deco bungalow in Enderby, BC. It’s listed for sale at 699K.

In 1967, there were still some pre-WW1 houses standing in Chinatown, including 4 on 2nd Ave SE. Today, all are gone, and just a single rooftop remains of what was once Hull’s Terrace.

@greg_gerla Ran out of room, and even so, this is still a greatly-abridged history. The Danish Canadian Club’s been there since 1964. Before Kits opened in the east section, Nordic Travel occupied that spot.

@NancyJWay @cmcalgary @calstampeders No, it’s on the east side of Elbow Drive, about 30th Ave. Gerry Shaw Garden is just south of Lowes Garden, named for real estate developer Freddie Lowes, whose house was once there. The park that contains these gardens was named after Colonel JH Woods, who donated the land.
