Keep in mind that much of this was abandoned industrial land just over a decade ago.
I actually appreciate the small-town ambience and grittiness of Lower Lonsdale. You won't find your Bikram yoga studios, Paris Hilton wannabes or designer baby stores there; nor the mega-malls or big box stores.
I hope that Metro Vancouver can always have throwback neighbourhoods like these.
