Everyone's seen the postcard: mountains, ocean, glass towers, somebody doing yoga at Kits Beach in the rain. That's about four blocks of it. The rest is the city 2.6 million people actually live in — and that's the part we cover.
The ramen line on Robson at 11pm. Which Main Street spot is worth the wait and which one's coasting on a nice mural. The new brewery in a Clark Drive warehouse. What's replacing the shuttered place on Commercial. The Gastown lease drama, the Mount Pleasant rezoning nobody read, the Chinatown counter that's been slinging the same BBQ pork since before you were born.
Gastown to the Drive, Strathcona to Kits, Chinatown to the North Shore. Food openings and closings, the development reshaping your block, the SkyTrain delay that wrecked your morning, the patio that's only good for three weeks a year — and exactly which three. Rain included. It's always included.
Big enough to matter, local enough to know that "the Drive" isn't a highway and "No Fun City" is a dare. VANCVR is the version of Vancouver your group chat already lives in.
