Car inside a red cedar tree in Vancouver’s Stanley Park<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. When I was a kid, we bought our own school supplies including books. The prices were a much lower percentage of wages then and Canadian publishers printed our textbooks. I remember walking to Witty’s Drugstore one September to buy my school books, and in particular the Ontario Public School Geography<\/em><\/a>, a large (to my eyes) text by W J Gage & C0. Limited of Toronto. This text was published before the turn of the last century and updated as new data was available.<\/p>\n

One photo in particular fascinated me – \u00a0two people sitting in an automobile inside a giant red cedar tree <\/a>in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. The above link is to the 1922 edition and the tree is on page 118.<\/p>\n

All this came to mind after George Dunbar sent me this link to photos of unusual trees on the NPR Website<\/a>. The tree photos are in an article by Sasha Ingber back on Sunday, October 15th in NPR’s Goats and Soda<\/em> column. While the photos and articles are interesting, NPR stands for National Public Radio<\/em><\/a>. It is American and does have an American slant to news items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
