Golden Age?

I'm always skeptical of claims that things were better in the past then they are now, but the distance from nature in our modern cities is one of those areas where I'd say that the past probably was better.

Over in the land of drivel, Doug talks about growing up in Vancouver in the 50's and 60's and links to some wonderful photos (by Fred Herzog) of Vancouver in that era. Fascinating stuff for someone like me who has only lived in Vancouver for a short time and has very little knowledge of the city it used to be.
