Vancouver01-Commercial.jpgAbout 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.

 

CommercialDrive01.jpgWe 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.
