August 3rd, 1973 — There is not much interesting in this photograph of Southlands at the foot of Blenheim Street by the Fraser River except that what you see, the fish boats, the shipyards, the cannery, and net lofts, is all gone and replaced by dozens of million dollar waterfront homes. It would be nice to say that land prices pushed these industries out but it was really the lack of fish in the Fraser River caused by pollution and over fishing that did it. This picture was taken from the Goodyear blimp.
