1990 Vancouver

The music can turn someone into a crack addict.

Oh how I would love to go back in that time 1990 and be 18 years old again

[@Trapah0lic]

Damn , you are old

[@corce209]

Vancouver, I miss the way you were back then. It's horrible now; far too many people and too unsafe nowadays. Thanks for the memories ♥

[@schwags1969]

Me too. I moved years ago.

[@Noahidebc]

This was the year (summer) I got my DL. And first place i drove to was down town Van! I sure miss the old Vancouver.. Had to go back in ‘15 and couldn’t wait to get out!

What a 'time-capsule'. I was living on Pendrell Street, not far from where you were on the beach. And strangely, I still have a 1990 calendar, that I saved because it was commemorating the centennial of trams and buses in the region.

[@kabiam]

Glad someone appreciates 1990 Vancouver.

[@BradFalck-mn3pc]

That summer they were filming "Short Time" in downtown Vancouver, great movie, best car chase EVER!!!

[@mumpygumboo8554]

Vancouver got meaner and uglier shortly after this video... I remember.

[@TheWolfsnack]

It got Campbellized

[@robingourde3324]

It happened after Expo 86. Vancouver became a "World Class City". The Olympics helped it further along.

[@mumpygumboo8554]

​@@robingourde3324 argghh... i have nothing against people moving into a city and living there but it's the way in which we are living which is creating so many issues: traffic, pollution, homelessness, lack of public input and democracy... etc, etc. We need to learn and change and do things better. I did notice, however, that Vancouver did improve last I was there a few years ago, in terms of the new skytrain links, and bike paths... at least some improvements, but the real estate game is nasty, nasty stuff...

[@danwest1584]

@@robingourde3324 Lack of foreign property ownership laws coupled with the repatriation of Hong Kong to China in 1997 is what brought Vancouver to where it is today.

I was 3 years old, and mostly at home. Honestly, the times when I did go out are very memorable.

[@fermentedcinema4892]

LA, New York, San Francisco, etc.. all have amazing songs, but do they have THIS song!?

[@universityofnowhere]

There was actually things happening in those days and if you wanted, you could go out to a trendy nightclub and go to White Tower Pizza after at 2:30am, or Binos

[@phoenixman8569]

So much has changed since then, now you have to be a millionaire own property there, V.I. too some time soon and in the west end down town there was just a few drunks drinking out of bagged whisky bottles, and now there are Fentanyl junkies all around there keeping the paramedics going 24/7 with no end in sight.

[@rl876]

If i had a time machine, i would go back to find the singer of this song and tell them, please don't sing that song. also, warn everyone that the ugly "mom" jeans will forever tarnish '80s fahion.

What about killing baby Hitler? That should be on the list.
