Come walk Commercial Drive’s Western Slope on Sunday, October 21st, famed guide Maurice Guibord will take us on a unique history walk. As he describes it:
Let’s head for the tracks! A tour of Grandview, but downhill all the way. On the slope leading down to the railway tracks, we’ll see how urban development created a still-changing environment. Among other sites, you’ll walk the tracks, see a hidden mosaic garden, the home of a star boxer, visit a huge warehouse transformed into artists’ studios, and the former city dump transformed into urban gardens.
Meet up at the corner of Charles and Woodland at 10:00 a.m. for a two-hour tour.
We will be accepting voluntary donations to help us continue our work of recording and preserving the heritage of Grandview. $10 is suggested, but pay as you can. See you there!
