Vancouver, The Place to Be!

Vancouver's spectacular natural beauty has long been one of the main reasons about 8 MILLION visitors flock to the city each year.  THE WEST END: Forget finding a parking spot in Canada's most densely populated neighbourhood.  The West End's three major thoroughfares: Davie St., Denman St. and Robson St., house some of the city's coolest eateries, coffee shops and retail stores.  Residents put up with the exorbitant rent because of these lively features, as well as their proximity to beautiful pathways along English Bay.  YALETOWN even 15 years ago, Yaletown wasn't a place you wanted to hang out much past sundown.  Dive bars and grimy storage facilities were the main tenants of the area's aging brick structures.  But in the mid-90s, thanks to the Internet boom and an explosion of new money, Yaletown experienced a remarkable transformation as artists and yuppies alike began buying up studio space for work and residence.  Yaletown is a favourite hangout for Hollywood types, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Cher, Sarah Michelle Gellar and hubby Freddie Prinze Jr., have all stayed in Yaletown.  It's an excellent example of a city revitalizing its inner core.
