Banks Account: Hastings before the Marine Building

Image

Written by:

Gordon Price

.

1927: The viewcone along Hastings from one end of the CPR townsite to the other has barely changed in 85 years.

[Notice, as well, that there are no crosswalks, and pedestrians are crossing where they wish.  The pre-Motordom city.]
