It’s as strong an urban streetwall as you’ll find in Vancouver: more an east-coast solid flank of glass and concrete than the Vancouverism-style podium-and-tower found elsewhere.
It’s the west side of the 1200-block Howe Street in Downtown South, quickly emerging as a distinct sub-neighbourhood needing a separate name.
Here’s what it looked like in 2007, once home to a couple of entertainment institutions from our past – the Odyssey club and La Bodega restaurant. Any memories, people?
Is this Richmond?
La Bodega was an institution in this town for decades. Sadly missed.
Going strong at 1014 Main Street
