BC Road Trip Time Machine: Highway 1, Vancouver to New Westminster in 1966

Get ready for a ride down memory lane because our BC Road Trip Time Machine is heading your way. This time we pointed our photolog time machine at Vancouver, circa 1966. Our archival photolog footage rolls its way from Horseshoe Bay, through West Vancouver, over the Lions Gate Bridge, into downtown Vancouver - along Georgia Street, up Main and out Kingsway, giving you a glimpse of Vancouver as it was in 1966. (It’s safe to say we’ve come a long way from the fledgling port town that we were).
So sit back, relax and watch this glimpse of a world long gone by in the rear view mirror.
