These contemporary photos are of the narrowest building in the world (Ripley's Believe It Or Not) at 10 Pender Street West between Carrall St. and Shanghai Alley. This was the second location of Bill & Bob's Record Shop owned by Bill Reiter & Bobby Garrison.
The initial home of Bill & Bob's was Mr. Akira Yamashita's pool hall (International Billiards) at 24 East Hastings Street (Hastings and Carrall).
"Yama's Pool Hall" (operated by sons Robert, Donald and Douglas) had an eight by twenty-five foot long entrance hallway with a counter running its length.
For six months that counter became Bill & Bob's first business location.

Now I just have to figure out how to get up early enough to catch up with ya at Broadway White Spot.
I have been hard at it trying to teach my Luddite " Facebook " friends how to get to your podcasts.
4th Avenue / Kitsilano 1970's Reunion ... Ever wonder wha ...
This way they hopefully can sort out the fuzzy memories of the clubs and bars.
