It might look a little like this but more rust of course.

And remember when empty card board boxes was movie quality special effects.

I like how it’s already rusty, even when it’s supposed to be a newer Jeep.

Ahhh, Vancouver in the ‘80’s.  Blissfully unaware of the external forces that will shape its future.  And also that the Cherokee will morph from that beaut into a me-too cuv with a Jeep grill.

1988, just on the cusp of the first wave of HK handover escapees, which means there were still pockets of relatively affordable housing in the city. Funny how a region becoming a money laundering/pay for play residency hotbed can create chaos.

So much of it is familiar, but many shots seem empty, as they are now all built-up.

Yup.  So familiar yet so alien at the same time.

I read somewhere that BC Hydro upgraded all the alley transformers from those wooden trestle style supports to below-ground but they kept a few downtown for filming purposes.

I can believe that about the transformers. If BC has done one thing right, it is the filming industry - no matter the profits, it is cool to see familiar places in movies and TV.

I’ll sound like a bitter drone of a certain stereotyped generation, but I miss the old Vancouver (and Seattle).  Both of which are gone and will never return.

The ferry system is pretty solid, too. Particularly against Alaska’s.
