Canucks Young Guns

[Chef Boi RD]

To Mickeys left is Joe Iaci, of Iaci’s Restaurant which for many years operated across the street from the Penthouse, I spent a lot of time at Iaci’s as a kid.

Thnx Chef, some interesting fun facts about Vancouver history. I noticed Eve Lazarus (author of Van-city cold cases) did a blog about Iaci's as well.

Yes, Iaci’s was a pretty popular restaurant in the day. It was an old house turned into restaurant, which was originally, back in the 30’s and 40’s, a speak easy. The Iaci’s were big bootleggers as well. That’s Jose Iaci to Ross Filippone’s right. The Penthouse puts on a history tour every few months, hosted by Danny Filippone and author Aaron Chapman. Highly recommend it. Danny and Aaron have a radio show on 650 every Sunday night. I talk to Eve Lazarus often she did a blog on how the No. 5 got its name and John Mackie did a story on the bootlegging Brandolini’s recently. You can find it on-line. The Iaci’s and Filippone’s were from the Italian neighborhood on Seymour Street, bookies the Loretta’s were from that hood. The Brandolini’s were from the Italian neighborhood of Hogan’s Alley in Strathcona. A well known red light district in the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s.

When is the PNE? They'll get all that lawn parking money then and can hopefully afford more luxuries?

I imagine by this time of year they have holes in their socks and had their furnaces shut off by Feb 15 to save cash. Lots of hamburger helper meals lately

Jimmie's Lunch

I worked Parking at the PNE in the late 80's.We'd stop by the Waldorf the odd break and smoke dope down at New Brighton Pool.. I'm an expansion baby. So late 80's. Pat Quinn started in Van in 87. Such a kind soul. Smyl, Trevor, Barry Pederson... Butcher was gowed. Bryan Burke told me I had the IQ of a shoehorn. I put several barriers around his Beamer. I had a mullet, a six pack and I stinkfingered one of the barn girls on the wooden roller coaster

Ok - I know it's summer and everything, but how about we move these posts to the B&G now?

Ans yes, there's not a lot of Young Guns news... :/

[donlever]

There's plenty of young guns news.

People just aren't posting about it.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Young Gunts are more interesting

[donlever]

Which is pretty much why it's pointless to post about Young Guns yes.
