The old Eaton's site, 500 block west Hastings St.
[These two photos move east to west along Hastings St. The log sheet for Van88 tells us the recordists started their tour outside the old Eaton's site, recently demolished after the move to their new flagship store at Granville and Georgia. This site became Harbour Centre, which now houses an SFU campus among other things. On Van88A1 the recordists capture some construction noise outside the Empire Building adjacent this site, likely from the demolition in progress here. Construction noise from this site was also documented on Van118A2.]
