Have you ever been to the Vancouver Police Museum at 240 E. Cordova Street? Kim Werker did a BLOG POST about them and one of their forensic workshops not long ago and since V.I.A. moved into the neighbourhood a few blocks away from them I've been meaning to go and pay them a visit.
I was chatting with Chris Mathieson, the director of the Police Museum, and he told me to hold off, that he wanted to come and see us first. He asked me for our exact address and promised to dig up some of the police history of the Blim building at 115 East Pender. And dig up he did! I shared THIS piece with you yesterday and I'll be sharing another newspaper clipping tomorrow that he brought over to us from the archives, this second one involves drugs. I apologize in advance for the entirely unpolitically correct grammar used in this newspaper piece from January of 1923 but unfortunately there is no changing the language of the past...
