A&W is one of my prefered fast food places. I try and not eat too much of this type of food but occassionally, one cannot ignore the craving for the salty and meaty treats such as A&W Burgers, Onion Rings and Root Beer.
A-OK service.
26. Pacific Gateway Supermarket
This place has become a fond favourite of ours.
Great selection of produce and fruit. The bbq'd duck is so tasty.

Gastown was named after him but I always wonder why tourists (and locals) are so entranced.
