Along the No. 20 Line: "Many of the passengers on the No. 20 get off at Carrall and Cordova, heading up to the shopping district along Hastings. We wait for a minute to make up the schedule and then turn west onto Cordova. The block is loaded with men down fro the camps, in the Stanley, the Manitoba and the Travellers. Not too long from now the name "Cordova Street" will become synonymous with a skid row hangout for canned heat artists. But as yet it's still a loggers' locale." (p.30) (VPL- "Hobos next to a camp fire," 1957)
