Vancouver-Before it was the City of Glass-Exhibit

Looks like it was an interesting exhibit at the Monte Clark gallery, reminder of a different time. Did anybody go?

Those are cool pics and everything but I find it gets a bit overplayed. Dark, gritty, industrial wasteland pics. It's like ok I get it, it was a shit hole. Although, there were still lots of nice areas back then.

I don't believe the intent was to say it was a "shit hole", just a very different city. As was New York then compared to now, or London.

Well basically everything they took pics of were run down. Be it buildings or the people lol. But as I said there were lots of nice areas back then too so they did slant it to push a specific narrative
