Vancouver's Hip Past

3 stars

It’s always great to see more Vancouver history books, especially entertaining ones. Even with this subject material, however, Canadian writers seem to pride themselves to paint a PG-13 picture. I hope to see this trend die-out, and for millennial and zoomer writers to add more passion. Another Aaron Chapman classic. You can’t get too mad at the guy for painting the tensions between the Filippones and the cops as a friendly rivalry. After all, he’s the only guy doing this kind of work about the city.
