Demolition of a VGH Institution

Just a few blocks west of Vancouver City Hall is Vancouver General Hospital. For many decades countless young women lived in this building while they were training to be nurses. Growing up just half a block away I
remember walking over as a little boy on Friday evenings and seeing these "ladies" leaning out of their windows and shouting down to a procession of men in muscle cars and convertibles that they would be down in a few minutes. At the time I thought, "That's neat, these cool guys were so nice to be giving these ladies a drive in their cool cars." Hey, I was seven and didn't know the first thing about sex!! But this scene every Friday was like my own personal version of American Graffiti.
