Dad has all the fun!
|
The good old days when playing outside was the norm. This picture is a good example of life in Vancouver in the1960s. My Dad is having a lot of fun, maybe too much fun testing the go-cart while the Speed kids and friends chase after him. When I showed this picture to my Dad, he recalled that the go-cart didn't have breaks so fortunately for him the hill wasn't too steep as you will see in the next picture. Notice no helmets! This picture was taken in front of our old house on Fleming Street between East 37th and East 39th avenue. I remember riding a bike for the first time on this same sidewalk. I pedaled a few revolutions before steering into some bushes just down the sidewalk to the left.
