1. Hollywood Theatre - CLOSED
The Monday night double-feature for $5 is the best deal in town. In operation for more than 70 years, the theater is stuffed with the classic family-run charm. Example: the owner's mother sells tickets from the street-side booth.

Beer, Wine & Spirits

Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
"Organic Blueberries - the buzz of the 90s" tops my list of favorite Vancouver signs. It made me realized I missed a major trend in the produce world amidst a decade filled with Y2K, Monica and Bill, Nirvana, and beanie babies.
