Sometimes, a moment in history comes alive in a remembered song, or a certain fragrance in the air. Sometimes it's a person's voice or a long-forgotten memento found in the bottom of a box.
But photographs - even when they're wrinkled, yellowed and torn - can bring the past alive like nothing else. The right photo is a window to the past that can show how much things have changed - and, in some cases, how much they've stayed the same.
Starting today, the NOW will share a glimpse into the city of Burnaby, past and present, with our series, Then & NOW, with reporter Christina Myers. Keep an eye on upcoming editions for more instalments in the series, and watch our website at www. burnabynow.com for a photo gallery.
