Gastown has some history and it’s not all about some boozin’ man called Gassy Jack. Not to take anything away from this progressive entrepreneurial pioneer, but the buildings in the area are what we’re talking about when it comes to history in Gastown and the fact that it is possible to inhabit one of these historic buildings, which have been converted into modern day luxurious lofts,  is experiencing history first hand. The facades are old world brick reminiscent of anywhere but Vancouver and this is exactly what gives Gastown its charm. Gastown was once the center of the action and given time it will rise up once again from the worn and weathered cobblestone to shine brightly as Vancouver’s go to place for all things hip, sophisticated, hot, with it, cool, phat, bad and shizzle my nizzle en vogue.
