Vancouver's Eclectic Eastside | Part II

Hi all, here is Part 2 of 2 of my eastside neighbourhood tour. To see Part 1, go here: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=892162

Once again here is the map of my journey:



When I last left off, I had just entered the Strathcona neighbourhood, Vancouver's oldest residential neighbourhood...















Some mosaic tile of the 22 bus...


And right as I turn around, what do I see... ?




And now into the heart of Strathcona




And a quick stop at this corner store for a root beer and chicken samosa






Strathcona is a popular neighbourhood for artists...


...and cyclists






































And with a sudden I'm in Chinatown






Looking towards the Downtown Eastside neighbourhood












It seemed obligatory to take a photo of Foo's Ho Ho Restaurant








And now I quickly cross through the Downtown Eastside on my way to Gastown




New neon sign for the Pennsylvania Hotel




Now in Gastown






Some newly renovated buildings








Some new highrise construction in the neighbourhood






More renos


















Looking into the CBD


Westcoast Express commuter train


Looking back at Gastown






The End.
