Have you ever looked back at a calendar and asked yourself, "wow, how is it 2019?" Well, we here at KelownaNow sure have!
We're also assuming Kelowna resident Ted Gerk thought the same thing when he looked back at all the photos he had of the city from 1978.
When looking back, it is hard to say that Kelowna seemed the same. There were fewer cars on the roads, smaller buildings, and much fewer residences. Though a lot has changed, there are still some places that have stayed the same.
Shown below are photos of Kelowna in 1978 and some of those same places over 40 years later:
Bernard Avenue:
Black Mountain School and Black Mountain Elementary School:
City Park:
Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetary:
Black Mountain:
Saint Theresa's Cemetary:
