Stunning, absolutely stunning to see. And I thought I saw some amazing change when I moved here in the late 1970's with my? parents and saw B.C. Place and the Skytrain being built from the ground up. Seeing how large and vibrant the city already was in 1907 is awesome. Realizing that probablly everyone in this video is now dead is awesome in a very different way. :/

yeah, people didn't? need to be told when it was OK to cross the street. I'm sure there were about as many collisions as there are today.

Man, there sure were a lot of jay-walkers? back then.

Yes, I live near Cambie and 49th. ? Where are you studying? There are a few neat demolition sites right now that have exposed old facades in downtown Vancouver.

Fantastic video! loved seeing Vancouver as it was "then"...music perfectly fits the video. I had never heard? of the "City Reflections" project, but will definitely look into it. Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful? video. Music is perfect...tranquil, wistful.

105 years ago. it's stunning to think that this was far back enough that everybody in the film? is dead, but they lived close enough to our age to be captured by film...

Are you in Vancouver? I would love to incorporate this into a study on Urban Geography? I'm doing for school.

I can't believe the number of times that I clicked and dragged? trying to look around a la Google Streetview.

shame vancouver tour down most of its historic buildings now we are stuck with all this? terrible "post moderism" crap from the 50s and 60s

This is really a precious window into a different? age! And I think the music fits it perfectly! Thanks for posting!

It's funny: the big, hulking mansions like those that can be seen beginning 5:33 are being built again: replacing the tiny little houses? built in the 40s and 50s and the Box-like "Vancouver Specials" built from 1965-1985.

This video is one of those most precious videos on youtube when it comes to our roots, whether it be Vancouver Canada where I grew up? or Edmonton or any other larger city, anywhere that is typical of the street scenes here in theis vodeo. The thing is I do know old ouver well and yet don't connect to serve, even the Sun Building which is still standing isn't seen off Hastings St. at Beatty. I can't believe what was Robson St. in 1907 was all residental houses like when did they dissapear?THX

Kind of mesmerizing with the music, the fact that's not? staged or a Hollywood made film, this is really how people dressed, got around and what Vancouver started as in 1907.

wonderful film? clip thanks

@canadianalias There is a 2007/1907 side-by-side comparison on that "City Reflections" DVD that was mentioned earlier, though with the frenzied pace of development in Vancouver, all those 2007 buildings have probably been torn-down by now ;-) If I can fit it in youtube's limited comment space, I'll post a "Roughly Accurate Guide to Harbeck's Trolley Ride" shortly. Also THANKS TO ALL who? have commented here!

Awesome! It's asking a lot, but I'd love to see a modern companion (same path, but 2012)video that I? could run with it side by side. It would also be amazing to have popups of current verses old street names or a trolley map.
