albeit there is some cool stuff in Gastown, and it is definitely one of the best neighborhoods in Vancouver but I do believe it will never get to the heights of SOHO or Harajuku because the rents will get to high, and the chains will move in. There are landlords who are holding out specifically for a Cactus or Earls to take their space. It is Yaletown in the making IMO but that seems to be the way that everywhere ends up in Vancouver.
