Along the No. 20 Line: "Slowing to a snail's pace, we edge around the ninety-degree turn onto Carrall St, the car bell sounding a steady warning clang. There's a shower of sparks from the overhead trolley arm." (p.29) (CVA- Europa Hotel: 43 Powell St. 1973)
"This is it. This is the crossroads of Vancouver's loggers' district. Within a radius of two blocks, three at the most, lie almost every hotel, cafe, store and joint catering to loggers.
