My father was a commercial fisherman in Alaska in the 50s and 60s - that museum would probably bring back a lot of memories.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-53000588305629791732011-05-18T13:36:34.225-07:002011-05-18T13:36:34.225-07:00Yes, what a wonderful place to visit.

All generations of my family had/have businesses there - laundromats, restaurants, bike stores, water taxis, barber shops, etc.<br /><br />It always feels like another world from Vancouver, despite its close proximity.<br /><br />It's changed a lot in the last decade - lots of gentrification and definitely has become more trendy and hip (completely unheard of, say, 15 years ago). Nevertheless, it's still one of my favourite places in BC. Of course, I'm completely biased. ;)Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08571315175379688615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-2121507469755506382011-05-12T10:19:59.738-07:002011-05-12T10:19:59.738-07:00My grandfather and his brother used to run fishing...My grandfather and his brother used to run fishing canneries up and down the BC coast, when my mother was young.<br />I'll have to visit that museum some day.<br />Steveston is wonderful, isn't it?
