					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://evelazarus.com/black-history-month-remembering-joe-fortes/#comment-3426&quot;&gt;Eve Lazarus&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Eve, do you know where his house was exactly? Or do you know how I can find out? I heard that it was on Bidwell street after he moved it from about where the Sylvia Hotel stands. I remember a little pale yellow cottage on the corner of bidwell and I believe Harwood Street across from the bandstand at Alexandra Park. Now it’s a very Boutiquey low rise condo. Can’t remember exactly when it was built but I am thinking the late 80’s / early 90’s? I just want to know if I’m correct. 
Thanks so much for all you do for the history of Vancouver. I really like your stuff

					<description><![CDATA[What an interesting read. 

My wife and I were treated by a friend to an incredible dinner at the Joe Fortes restaurant several years ago. We still talk about it.

I had no idea who he was, nor the story behind him. Thank you!]]></description>
