Cloverdale - 1913
Cloverdale - 1913
In the mid 19th century, Surrey's virgin landscape had it all: highlands, lowlands, floodplains, scrub, tall timber and much of it, available by pre-emption. As Europeans began settling in the region to be known as Surrey, many folks tended to favour a particular hillock. It was a fine highland for a community looking down and southward to the Nicomekl River, which meandered its way through Clover Valley. The townspeople called this place Surrey Centre. By 1881, this hilltop community had the municipality's first town hall and the area's first church, completed in 1884; for a long time this was the natural centre of things.
In 1887, New Westminster businessmen formed the New Westminster and Southern Railway (NWS) with rights to build a rail line between Brownsville, on the south shore of the Fraser River across from New Westminster to the International border. The NWS joined forces with a similar American company and this amalgamation attracted the interest of J.J. Hill and his Great Northern Railway (GN). With GN backing, the line was built from Brownsville, east along the river adjacent to Barnston Island and then veering south, seeking the lowest grades through Port Kells, Clayton, Cloverdale, Hazelmere and then on to the border. The alignment through Cloverdale was along the east side of 176th Street. The first GN train ran in 1891 and J.J. Hill's vision of a northern service from Seattle to Vancouver was realized. Cloverdale was very well positioned for the future. In 1897 the Yukon Gold Rush caused traffic to soar. In 1904 the long awaited Fraser River Bridge opened; no longer would GN passengers disembark at Brownsville or New Westminster and board the ferry Surrey to complete their journey across the Fraser. Then in 1909, calamity, GN opened a new ocean-hugging line along the coast of the Semiahmoo peninsula which drastically reduced traffic on the NWS Cloverdale route. However, in 1910 as if by magic, the British Columbia Electric Railway (BCER) opened its Fraser Valley Branch line, their tracks crossed the NWS line just south of Milton Rd (today's Highway 10). The BCER brought daily Interurban passenger and freight service which ran the full length of the Fraser Valley from Chilliwack through New Westminster and into Vancouver. Just as importantly, the BCER electrical overhead lines brought electricity to customers near the line. At Cloverdale, the BCER built a full sized depot as well as an immense electrical sub-station. Back up on the hill at Surrey Centre, plans for a new Surrey Municipal Hall were on the municipal agenda. The new location would be right-smack-dab at the new centre of things, Cloverdale.
Cloverdale was the new heart of Surrey. The new Municipal Hall was completed in 1912. The following year, the Pacific Highway (176 St.) officially opened running through to the border. In earlier days, the intersection of 176th and Highway 10 was known as Parr's Corners after the Parr General Merchandise store then located on the northwest corner. Appearing in my painting from left to right are the BCER depot, the GN Section house, the newly renovated Parr house (in red and cream), the Cloverdale Creamery, BC Telephone Office and the Burrows and Armstrong General Store. Moving north on Pacific Highway, The Columbia Hotel, built in 1907 took over from the expansive Starr Hotel and Livery which burned down in 1911. Next in view, a freight shed, then Carncross & Hugh Realtors. In the new two-storey red brick building owned by L.K. Sully, Pemberton and Son Realty and The Bank of Montreal, managed by Mr. Nick Kendall, have both just moved in. Next door, the roof of Mr. Hans Johnson's Shoe Repair is visible and a few doors north, H.V. Parr General Merchandiser. Finally The Cloverdale Methodist Church spire. A GN engine, a class B-21 4-4-0 approaches the tiny GN depot on the east side of 176th. Just a few people are waiting - a testament to the already reduced service. The last GN train would depart Cloverdale in 1923. The Cloverdale Opera House built in 1904 on King St. is eclipsed by the newly finished Municipal Hall. I painted Surrey's proud new seat of government gleaming with new electric light. In the foreground, BCER Interurban Freight car no. 1700 is about to depart eastbound for Chilliwack while a line crew wait at the freight shed siding with their locally built electric handcar.
An accurate map was required to do this painting. I used satellite technology as a template and re-mapped Cloverdale circa 1913 from a wide variety of archival sources. The resulting map is my gift to the Surrey Archives. The last BCER interurban passed this way on Sept 30, 1950. The railway impetus that virtually created Cloverdale was no more. Although in the intervening years the frenetic pace of progress may have at times appeared to bypass this beautiful community, time has not been unkind. Cloverdale prevails today, charming, historical and pretty.

Why Food At The Dollar Store Is Really So Cheap
How are dollar stores are able to sell food for so cheap and still turn a profit? The answer to that question is a calculated formula that dollar stores have devised to keep prices low, and we're going to break it down.
Location is the name of the game in business and if a company wants to be in the busy part of town it's going to cost them. However, it's not uncommon to see dollar stores in lower-income sections of a city, or in a totally rural area. It's a smart business move, and choosing to operate in areas that Target, Walmart, or Whole Foods won't bother to go has proven highly effective for the growth of dollar stores.
Opening and operating in these areas is simply less expensive and this helps keep prices down. Many dollar stores don't buy the land their stores are on either, which means that if they're not doing well, they can just pick up and move. If a Dollar General can keep the lights on and skip out on the pricey property taxes that a Publix is going to pay, it's going to be able to sell its food for much cheaper.

The Shady Truth Of Dollar Stores That No One Wants To Talk About
Dollar stores are everywhere in the U.S. today, and depending on where you live, you could even have more than one on your street. Whether its Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Dollar General, or some other 99 cent store, the dollar store business is booming. Ready for some mind-blowing statistics?
From toys to crafting supplies, there's an abundance of plastic for sale in dollar stores. And it's not particularly safe: A 2015 report found that a staggering 81 percent of plastic items in dollar stores contained at least one hazardous chemical. These chemicals have been linked to all sorts of concerning health issues, including cancer and birth defects. Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, for example, has been linked to asthma and lung effects, and was found to be in 38 percent of the plastics tested.
Some dollar store brands have pledged to remove the amount of toxic plastic in their stores. In May 2019, Dollar Tree — which owns Family Dollar, Dollar General, and 99 Cents Only — said that it would work to phase out lead and dangerous chemicals from its products, though the company hasn't laid out exactly what significant steps it's taking to filter hazardous chemicals out, or when it will happen.
