I'm still having trouble placing the Canadian Transit Company Building. What is there now? Is it the parking lot next to Customs? I go over the bridge every day now for work, but didn't use the bridge much when it was still standing.
Right about here, Uzzy.

Pretty sad, eh?
Does anyone have any photos of The Post Office Restaurant that was on Pitt Street around the corner from the downtown post office ? My Mom worked there as a waitress in the 1930's. Also I am trying to find photos dating back to the 1920's and 30's of both the students and the actual building of Holy Rosary School on Drouillard . These pics seem to be very hard to find .Thanks so much !
