Of Greek origin, her parents settled into the neighbourhood in 1966 when she was three years old. That same year the M\u00e9tro system was opened to the public and she can fondly remember the excitement of Expo 67 and how huge her new world seemed. She can list off which buildings and institutions have survived the last four decades, schools and libraries and parks and shops. Parc metro itself was built around  the remains of Canadian Pacific&#8217;s historic Park Avenue Station.<\/p>\n<p>She now lives only a few blocks away from where she spent her childhood and works as a medical secretary at the Royal Victoria Hospital while running a small catering company &#8220;just for fun&#8221;. Though she jokingly clings on to her purse, she finds Parc-Ex has &#8220;cleaned up&#8221; a lot in the past few years and attributes it to Justin Trudeau&#8217;s election to Parliament.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-484\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-7.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-7.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-7-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"797\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-11.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-11-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"797\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-12-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"468\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-13.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-13-300x117.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><div id=\"attachment_488\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-488\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-16.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;it&#039;s not just politican&#039;s that are corrupt. we&#039;re all corrupt. corruption, it&#039;s like feta cheese. cultural and brandable.&quot;\" width=\"780\" height=\"1200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-16.jpg 780w, https:\/\/monmetro.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/parc-16-195x300.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-488\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;it&#8217;s not just politician&#8217;s that are corrupt. we&#8217;re all corrupt.
