SCHOU STREET SCHOOL RE-UNION

SCHOU STREET SCHOOL
RE-UNION YEARS AGO.Can you spot your class-mate?
Only a few but there are many out there with a story to tell.

Thanks To Yvonne Twigger (Nelson) for providing this rare glimpse, reminding us all how time really does fly when we are all having fun. We know that Yvonne is now an artist and thank her for bringing these photos for inclusion.

PS: No. Julius, Jimmy, Eddie, Hank, Roy, Bobby, and others were not here either. Perhaps another time. Perhaps.

Cascades Theatre Burnaby BC - Another Era


What a feeling. Open air theatre. Little kids sneeking in. Little kids enjoying a different time, and a different day. The Cascades Theatre was the Holy Grail for the Clydesdale kids and all those attending Schou Street School across the street.

YVONNE TWIGGER Before Global Warming?

The Twigger's on Smith Ave! Note the SNOW photo. It is best described as "BEFORE GLOBAL WARMING?" Rarely is there snow these days.
The Twigger family enjoying a Kodak moment outside their home closeby to Schou Street Elementary School. So where are all the photos of kids on Clydesdale Street? Hmmm. I don't know.
PS: Did you know Yvonne's Grandfather first cleared the land for the old Cascade Drive-In Theatre site across from Schou Street School, with his trusty Clydesdale? No! Not the Street! His horse! Oh the Hilarity. Weeping with laughter. Imagine if you can. It is time for another nap.

About Me

My photo
Just one of the 'Kids of Clydesdale Street'. The life and times when innocence and wonder filled our days. A reflection on how the generations have changed with time, and more how a little street disappeared resurfacing as a gateway artery to and out of Vancouver British Columbia Canada. Under the asphalt we remain and young dreams, aspirations and passing time mold both our journey and ultimate destiny. Enjoy. Clydesdale Street could be your own street. Anywhere. Your own youth. Your own reality. A great time it was. Kicking stones, make believe, simple pleasures brought happiness and the carefree vision on our world.
