This is looking north down Granville Street at Nelson. The Scotia tower building on the right looks a little like a female dress form while the TD tower on the left looks a little like a male in a suit and tie. Think of high school dances: you know how girls always gather on one side, and boys on the other? It always felt like there was an uncrossable gulf between the two.

So when one considers this in the context of neighborhoods… well, this part of Vancouver has the highest density of bars and pubs and meeting places in the city.
