 About 10
minutes east of Downtown Vancouver running north and south is Commercial
Drive. This is one of the oldest
neighborhoods in Vancouver and was historically the heart of the Italian
and Portuguese communities, but over recent years has become much more culturally
diverse.
As with many areas in
Vancouver you will feel safe and welcome here, even on a warm summer
evening. This area is now full of
shops selling everything you can imagine with many coffee houses and
interesting cafes. There are a good
number of ethnic restaurants and specialty food stores along the street.
If you are a people watcher
you won’t want to miss Commercial Drive. You will see young and old here in
every dress imaginable.

 We took the photo to get the “Commercial Drive” flags
that were up in 2003 then got so enthralled in being tourists we forgot to
take more photos. The photo does
show the character of the area. In
general it is not new and glitzy, it is old and varies in the level of
maintenance.
Where is Commercial
Drive?
On BC Highway-99 (Granville
Street) just south of the Granville Street bridge turn east on Broadway and
travel east for 3.1 miles (5.0 Km).
Commercial Drive will be a cross street.
