..and you’ll have a lot of fun, day or night. I won’t deny the more depressing corners of this neighborhood. At the same time, at least Gastown hasn’t seen many hints of over-gentrification. And there’s a lot of great stuff here… the waterfront overlooking North Vancouver/Lonsdale Quay, the Seabus station, the Harbour Centre (on the very west tip), all of the chinese restaurants that get intersected via Chinatown, The Brickyard, The Lotus, Sonar, and many other spots.
Beat Street (http://www.beatstreet.ca), probably the best hip hop record store on the west coast, is here!
