Our Vision? When transit users emerge from the future Mount Pleasant Broadway Subway station, they will arrive at Mount Pleasant’s vibrant and distinct ‘Heritage Heart’, not a generic “could-be-anywhere” neighbourhood. mountpleasantheritagegroup.o… 📷C. Hagemoen

You might see a few of these up in the area. Little historical plaques telling stories of what was here before, or interesting people etc. We worked on them with local icon @vanalogueYVR We hope you enjoy them!

#MountPleasant's quirky Kingsgate Mall is celebrating its 50th anniversary this weekend. The cupola is a replica of the one that topped King Edward High, before it burned down here in 1973 evelazarus.com/what-was-here… #vancouverexposed #missingheritage #everyplacehasastory

You never know what will vanish in Vancouver — the Landmark hotel tower was demolished while this little West End storefront survived. Artist Michael Kluckner's new history book is filled with scenes of beauty and battles over land. My @TheTyee piece: thetyee.ca/Culture/2024/04/1…

'Surviving Vancouver': A Global City's Unlikely Holdouts | The Tyee

Michael Kluckner’s new book illustrates the special places that remain as power and profit remake the city.
