It's the little things in mundane scenes like this that make them interesting today. The 499 sign on Howe (and 1/99 on Georgia with a To 401 Freeway). Parking rates, measured in cents. And the outline of the 1891 Opera house, and its two later facades. May 4, 1969, the entire block will soon be cleared to make way for Eatons Pacific Centre.

Same Day, Robson/Granville.
