Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Now & Then: The corner of Main and 10th hasn't changed much in 60 years

Take a look this same spot in photos from 1958 and 2020

The corner of Main Street and 10th Avenue in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighbourhood as seen in 1958 and 2020.

The corner of Main Street and 10th Avenue has remained virtually unchanged (except for the tenants and a paint job) since the late 1950s and possibly longer.

Buildings like these, as plain as they are, give Mount Pleasant an authentic charm, which is rapidly disappearing from the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­landscape.
