Hotel Pennsylvania, Carrall & Hastings, Vancouver, 1927

Had the coffee but shouldve tried their chocolate. For some reason my idiot brain didnt pick up on the fact that they make good chocolate. I was just thinking to myself, oh, the owner must really like chocolate. The place itself is small but cozy. Guess im revisiting it soon #EastVanRoasters #CoffeeShop #Carrall #Vancouver

An engraving of the Electra building features prominently; it would have been just 2 years old at the time; here's a brochure of the Electra from 1957. This certificate was seen on the CentreA tour of the old BC Electric Terminal (1912) last Saturday. They will be offering another tour Friday, September 28 and Saturday, September 29: 2-3pm as part of Culture Days in Canada. RSVP required.
