Riding the Fraser bus this morning, sitting in front of a 30s guy with a vestigial British accent giving a 20s woman (who had just arrived from London) a helpful running commentary on our route -- except that everything he said was flatly, hysterically wrong. Fraser Street: This used to be a posh neighbourhood until the Second World War, when they tore down all the mansions and put up boarding houses for the soldiers. Approaching the Downtown East Side: There were no Asians in British Columbia at all until the 1980s, when business began relocating from Hong Kong and Tokyo. And so on.
