Keremeos  BC -  BC roadside attraction 

These photos were taken a couple weeks ago up in the historic town of Keremeos on Highway 3. It is a neat array of old tractors, and they also have some neat vintage autos there too. 

The fall colours in BC aren't quite like the way it is back east but still, we have our pleasure too. This is along the Similkameen River nearby Keremeos on the way west to Hedley.

Not many buildings left in Hedley but here is an old general store.

On the hills behind the store you will still see the remains of old mine buildings. 

If you go exploring up there, keep an eye out for rattlesnakes and loose rocks.

Vancouver Chinatown  Green Door Restaurant 1970s-80s


Vancouver business card 1977  Green Door Restaurant - Chinatown

Just a couple nights ago, I found this along with a couple of other 1970s business cards from Vancouver that were mixed in with a box of old family photographs.  I hadn't realised I had this still.

Also in the lot was this one:

Vancouver business card 1977   BC Royal Cafe - Chinatown

When I used to work up on 800 block east Hastings at Nicolson's Restaurant Supply in 1977, I used to sometimes  walk down to Chinatown after work to go to these places to eat.  At BC Royal Cafe I would plunk down $5 and ask them to surprise me with something good.  It was great.

Both of these restaurants are long gone. From another era already !
