Hastings

In Vancouver, Hastings Street runs from Downtown to Burnaby, right through the Hastings area, which includes the historic neighbourhoods of Chinatown, Strathcona, Gastown, and Downtown Eastside, and other residential areas. The businesses here are supported by the Gastown, Strathcona, Chinatown, and Hastings Crossing business-improvement associations. The Hastings area starts at Vancouver's harbour, in Burrard Inlet, and extends south to encompass the magnificent Pacific Central heritage train station and part of the Skytrain system.
