15. Edmonton, 120nd Ave NW, Nov 1980 to June 1981

This was the absolute worst place I ever lived. A creepy bottom floor apartment that was tiny and I had no furniture other that a mattress and a 10' B&W TV. I eventually bought a coffee table and sofa.

I had been transferred to the Woolco at Capilano Mall and this was a lot closer. I should have stayed in St. Albert.

I spent most of my nights after work drinking in the Rex Hotel Tavern, just beside the Woolco. Not a good time.

I was already 26 years old and all I had in the world was a 1968 Oldsmobile, a mattress, a coffee table and a sofa. So I put most of my energy into working and drinking.
