Girlfriends, Margaret and Pat

In 1956, the only place to shop was downtown. There was no Oakridge and suburban malls were a phenomenon of the future. We’d start at Woodwards, then on to Eatons, and up Granville St. to The Bay, walking all the way in our high heels. Afterwards, we’d likely take in the latest movie, our favourite theatres being the Orpheum and the Capitol.
