VANCOUVER VICE - AARON CHAPMAN

Aaron Chapman, historian extraordinaire of Vancouver's underbelly, describes the West End in the 1980s, its worst decade of street prostitution. In this illustrated talk, using images from his recent book Vancouver Vice, he puts the city's long history of sex work into a broad context, reflecting on its evolution from the days of The Penthouse Cabaret described in his book Liquor, Lust and the Law.

I GREW UP at 1460 Nelson & Nicola street right across the street from Firehall #6 went to Lord Roberts School in the early
60's / early 70's . There was no fences or Security Guards to keep us away from exploring the construction sites
in the evening or on the weekends we would roam free in these tall buildings under construction no flashlight sometimes
we were 7-8-9 or even 12 stories high we could find nails/screws and hammers/saws every thing we needed to build us a
BOYS FORT (No Girls Allowed) we never fell down a elevator shaft we never got hurt maybe skinned our knees or stepped on a nail
WE WERE SOO LUCKY THAT WE ALL LIVED running rampant through a construction site
sometimes the Policeman would chase us away we would just go to another construction site
