How well can you really know any neighbourhood? Yes, one can recite the history, the dates and times of developments, the influx of immigrants and the changing economics, but those sorts of official histories conceal something much deeper in the stories of the individuals who call a place home, stories you're likely to never hear unless you know someone personally. Those stories have been made much more accessible in the Grandview-Woodlands area thanks to the work of the Under One Umbrella society. With the help of a grant from the City of Vancouver - part of the city's 125th anniversary celebration - the group has put together a compilation of diverse stories from The Drive, titled Voices From Grandview Woodland. I sat down with Damian Murphy, the coordinator of the Under One Umbrella society that launched the book, at the Prophouse Cafe across the street from their offices on Venables Street, and sat in rapt attention as he explained the project.
