Portland Al's



A screen-grab I took from a 1966 B.C. Department of Highways film. The Sprite sign on the building above the Sprite truck would soon advertise the site of Portland Al's (1853 Main Street, at 3rd Avenue), where you could buy bootleg cassettes of difficult to find (or afford) vinyl.


Here is another film (video) of a 1985 visit to Al's.
