Haha...I remember working as a car hop! No roller skates but I did like the short uniform with the knee socks (and so did the boys)...
When we were kids we use to use a bottle opener on those & make swamp water, just brought our own plastic cup.
Don't Think these were mentioned;

You had to go to Blaine to see hard core porn (Seaview)
The only food you could get in a pub was pickled eggs and Cubenettes (SIC) ...gee, I can't believe I ate the whole thing..lol
Chocolate bars were 5 cents (Pep Chew and 5 Star)
Cloverdale had wooden sidewalks and hitching posts...
The First Keg openned in North Vancouver and their menus were on handled bread cutting boards
The only chain Pizza Restaurant was the Pizza Pieman
seat belts were only used as bottle openers
Brian Adams worked at the Tomahawk
Your could drive on Granville

To get to the airport, you had to drive across the Knight St bridge, and through Richmond, down Bridgeport Road. And Richmond was mostly farmland.
Boundary Road was a 2 lane road between the Joyce turnoff and Kingsway. I think it was a dirt road as well.
Metrotown Mall was only a Sears store and a huge vacant field.

I remember "dead air" when rock FM radio was in its infancy.
A pretty cool DJ named Dave Marsden. I heard Dark Side of the Moon
in its' entirety,uninterrupted and commercial free for the first time
on the radio.
The Cascade Hotel in Banff. (summer of 74). Draft was 20 cents a glass.
Hell you could get a pretty good beer buzz for two dollars. There was this
western novelty beef nicknamed "hightest" which had an alcohol content of
7.5%. It was 50 cents a bottle. I think it was called Extra Old Stock, bottled
by Carling O'Keefe.
Camping out on the Banff Springs golf course. Bathing in the Bow river

I remember when the lagoon in Bowness Park was fed by the Bow River with a small weir at each end and it had fish in it...rainbow trout and northern pike....and at dusk you would see muskrats swimming in the water.
None of that for a very long time sadly.

He made a typo, I believe he meant to say "novelty beer".
The beer he was speaking of was a Carling-Okeefe product called Extra Old Stock(aka Hi-test). It was originally came from The Calgary Brewing & Malting company who was bought out by Carling in 1973. I remember in the 60's they sold soft drinks as well.
Taverns with one door saying Gentlemen Only and the other Ladies & Escorts, orange terrycloth table covers and $1.00 got you five beer.

I remember when beer wasn't so expensive. When I was living in Vancouver a bottle of beer at the sports bar on West Broadway was $6. That's expensive. Down here in Mexico there are plenty of bars that have beer for 15 pesos which is a little over $1 Canadian dollar. Can't beat Corona.
Yeah! I remember when it looked like that...the Fraser street bridge crossing from Richmond to marine drive looked like that too...it was also a train bridge and I remember it was bloody narrow!
Payphones were 10cents and you could get the call for free if you told the operator you were blind and got her to place the call.
