    These are giving me such joy. My heart aches for 80s/90s Vancouver 😢

    That conductor at The Orpheum is my friend's dad (Mr. Akiyama)!
    And the former owners of The Ridge bowling alley are my current neighbours. They still miss this business every day!

    "Don't do this" "This is illegal" had me laughing pretty good

    ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Skinny Puppy! I wish the Ridge was still around. There’s no form of entertainment in that neighbourhood anymore

    Solid job, I only knew about 8 or 9 of those being done here. Had to laugh at the one scene at the ferry where clear as day you can see BC License plates on the cars, despite it being in the U.S.

    I love Shoot to Kill. There is a climbing crag and a rock climb named for the movie in the Cheakamus Canyon in Squamish where they did some filming. Apparently there's still a concrete slab there that was poured for the production.

      ​@@banksvault5557 The other thing I recall about that film is that the ferry they are on was later cut in half vertically and had a section welded into the middle to make it longer.
      THEN it was cut in half horizontally and had another deck added.

      I live tweeted the film a few years back when that was a thing.

    I'm pretty sure I know at least one person who was a background performer in a scene shot on the steps of the Art Gallery.

    Skinny Puppy - the town was a creative powerhouse back then. The town changed in the early 90's when the city got swamped with T-Holes.
