  In Shaw (an historically gentrified blog) — Authority: 125
  This map is of houses sold on these few blocks between 1999 and this year below $500K. There are sill plenty of red stars representing sales. The blue are more than likely houses that sold prior to 1999, or the odd property selling at $500K and above. Since I did throw in the more than $500K on the map (not shown) it ...

  Paris Shoes at 51 W. Hastings, in Vancouver, possibly 1919. If shoeboxes still looked like this, you wouldn’t have salespeople constantly disappearing into the back, but the uniform whiteness of that bank of shoe boxes could never happen now. The shoe shop was still going in 1945 and that’s Pierre Paris in front ...

  In Shaw (an historically gentrified blog) — Authority: 125
  A comment I got here annoyed me, in the same way that being called white annoys me. Im an African American, but a pale one, so the attack on my identity, as I see it, irks me.
