      Looking northwest from the corner of Columbia Street at East Hastings.
      The 'Drugs' sign at left is still in use. The Dodson has been the 'New Dodson' as long as I can remember.
      Herzog must have been on a mission to capture all the White Lunch cafeterias.
      I think that there were three.

      What an excellent historic photograph by Fred Herzog. He is a genius who is the only person to record by way of photographs old Vancouver. I sometimes went to the Lux Theatre in the late 1960's/early 70's. The Lux theatre had double-feature movies there, the admission price to which being very little. Some patrons went there to sleep or spend the day away from the cold weather. The sleazy atmosphere there was unique. It seems like a lifetime ago, but here will never be a venue like the Lux Theatre again, in terms of sleaze and atmosphere.
