To Christopher Jackson – I’m wondering if there’s a way for me to get in touch? I am working with a group of community stakeholders in the Downtown Eastside at bringing back the meat counter at Save On Meats. It would be great to get your perspective on things.

regards,
David

My family and I are overwhelmed by the support of the community. The rumors are true, Jackson’s is re-opening in it’s original location which was opened by my Great Grandfather in 1911. Myself and my wife Shayna Jackson have taken on the exciting challenge of carrying on the family name. We look forward to once again serving the Kitsilano community very soon. Thank you for your postings, if you have any Jackson’s stories or memories we would love to here them.
FYI, the late Al Crompton (long-time Jackson’s employee) is shown in the above photo.

Hope so! That would be great for the community.
Contrary to popular belief, West 4th has many long-time, grass roots, mom & pop stores.
If you walk the north and south sides from Burrard to Balsam and back, the history is amazing.
Comicshop, Zulu, YVS, Prints Charming, Sophie’s, Las Margs, etc.
Even newer places like the Does Your Mother Know? magazine store have a great vibe to them.
