8. Vancouver, West 12th Avenue 1978, Summer

Anyone familiar with Vancouver knows that this upscale and well established part of the city was and is really a desirable place to live. I think that's why I migrated to it.

Unfortunately I rented a basement suite of some old widow's grand house and it was pretty dismal for me. I spent most of my time at my former room mate's new place in Richmond where he was renting from a horney older divorcee.

The picture is of me and Paul Hare (I'm in the forground) smoking a joint and drinking at his place in Richmond, summer, 1978.






Anyway I was just here in the summer before I decided I needed to break away from familiar surroundings. I moved to Edmonton in September of 1978.
