Saba's Blog: arts, culture, visual material, and good readin' - Mount Pleasant: One of Vancouver's many colourful neighbourhoods

I found this map a little while ago that shows every neighbourhood in the City of Vancouver.

 

Seeing this map and learning the exact locations of Vancouver's 23 neighbourhoods (and learning for the first time some of their names) impelled me to explore each one.  

Mount Pleasant is the newest neighbourhood in Vancouver i have (consciously) explored, leaving another 18 neighbourhoods for me to visit - i am already quite familiar with Downtown (15),  West End (14), Kitsilano (3), and W. Point Grey (4)

Mount Pleasant is a very young and colourful neighbourhood.  Most the businesses are locally owned.  It reminded me of the Abbot and Hastings area, with lots of young and trendy boutiques...but the store keepers in Mount Pleasant seem friendlier.

Next time i am in the area i want to eat at The Foundation, a vegan restaurant known for its nachos (located on Main & 7th).

Here are some pictures i took during a visit to the commericial area of Mount Pleasant.
