Who recalls Mother Tucker's restaurants downtown and in Coquitlam?
Or the twin 7-11's in North Van a block apart?
The Granville Bridge and the Dusmuir and Georgia Viaducts that were to form the eventual (but succesfully defeated) freeway system in and out of downtown.

The second Georgia Viaduct was intended to form part of an extensive freeway system for Vancouver. However, communities were opposed to the idea of cutting up neighbourhoods for the purpose of such systems and the plan was scrapped. The freeway would have cut up many neighbourhoods around the Viaduct, including Strathcona, the Downtown Eastside and Chinatown. The damage would have been greatest in Strathcona, as the plan called for the freeway to run straight through that neighbourhood, which would have likely destroyed it.
