An area of downtown Vancouver, BC. It borders on the impoverished East Side but isn't quite as run-down (though it has some of the seediness). A hub of culture and nightlife in the city, it is home to bars, clubs, restaurants and smoke shops. While not quite as polished and family-friendly as other areas of town, Gastown has a charm that sets it apart from the rest of the downtown scene.
