Editorial Reviews
Book Description
On a trip to New York a few years ago I marveled at the neighborhoods
of Manhattan and the outer lying suburbs. I thought it would be
wonderful to publish one of my guide books on The Neighborhoods of
New York. I have not made it back to New York since but while
travelling around the neighborhoods of Metro Vancouver, I began to
see the diversity of our neighborhoods which is similar to the
neighborhoods of New York, of course on a smaller scale.
There are the Mediterranean markets and food stores of Kitsilano and
Commercial Drive, the East Indian saris and spices of The Punjabi
Market, the University district of UBC and West Point Grey, the trendy
yuppie boutiques of west 4th avenue, the gay district of Davie Village,
the beach neighborhood along Denman Street, the new Convention
Center and cruise ship terminal at Coal Harbour, historic Gastown and
the heritage district along Hastings Street, Cambie Village where the
new Canada Line passes under on its way to the airport, upscale
Yaletown which has changed from warehouses to coffee shops and
bars, restaurants and boutiques, Chinatown and even Rail Town anew
and up and coming neighborhood located on the downtown east side
waterfront.
Neighborhoods are more than districts, they are any where that people
come together to share common experiences whether that be
shopping, eating, drinking, walking and so on. Neighborhoods often
are given their own distinctive branding like 'The Heights', 'Sunrise',
'Granville Rise', 'Uptown' and so on. We have brought together a few
areas in Vancouver and included them as neighborhoods that might
not normally be thought of as neighborhoods, like Arbutus Street
between Broadway and 16th, Killarney Centre at Elliott and 49th
Avenue and Victoria Drive at 41st Avenue.
Besides highlighting the ins and outs of Vancouver's meeting places
we have included articles on historic organizations, buildings and
people from the cities past.
We have also included articles on developments that will benefit and
propel our neighborhoods into the future such as the new Canada
Line Rapid Transit system and the Olympic Village that has been
created on the shores of False Creek.
My vision of a guide book on the neighborhoods of New York, has
taken root here in 'A Guide To The Neighborhoods of Vancouver' and
its sister publication 'A Guide To The Neighborhoods of Metro
Vancouver' and proves to me that my concept will work anywhere.
Who knows, maybe one day I will get back to New York and write that
book as well.
