You do realize she was born here..... right?

I guarantee you she’s speaking Romanian at home not Canadian.

So when pappa guido told you to get out from under the tables at the 5 in italian...

My great grand-wop moved here in 1903, to Strathcona, not 1994 like the Andreescu’s. My Old mans dad was born in Vancouver. Shit brah, I’m watered down Canadian, Ma is Scottish. My old man didn’t even know how to speak Wop. Shit when did your folks move here from Poland? 1955?

Evil

My ancestors were bootleggers of whiskey in East Van, some even worked at Joe Kennedy’s whiskey warehouse in Railtown, the Irish Al Capone. Let the good times roll. They didn’t rape and pillage like yours, just provided the devils juice in a celebratory fashion

My Great grandad originally came to New Westminster, BC. Left for the States though, found a woman then came back.

Tennis? Too bad she>> fizzled out.

Sure did. When prohibition ended in the states a lot of Vancouver cross border rum runner/bootleggers were left with large amounts of unsellable stock due to loss of their biggest market - America, so one individual bought up most of this insellable stock at a rate and sold it under the table while working as a waiter at the Columbia Hotel DTES around 1940 and used those earnings to buy a well known establishment a couple blocks away.
