Vancouver Restaurants Still Open With Take Out Options
Seeing all the boarded up store fronts and closed notices on so many businesses makes it seem like everything is shut down due to the pandemic. I was in Gastown the other day and passed by Six Acres in the heart of Gastown by the Gassy Jack statue. They had rigged up and outdoor stereo system and had their windows open - signs to show everyone that "Hey - we're open!" If you are in a position to, please support our local businesses. Six Acres is located at 203 Carrall St and is open for takeout from Tuesday to Sunday from 12pm-8pm.

Vancouver Gas Prices 2019 vs. 2020
Last year on April 15, 2019 I took a photo at a downtown Vancouver gas station as the prices were rising dramatically and I wanted to document it for history. This year as the prices were falling I went back out on the same day around the same time (after 3pm) on April 15, 2020 to document the price fall. What a difference a year makes - 74 cents/L! Fun fact: This is the only gas station in Vancouver's downtown penninsula. All other gas stations have been sold for development.
Price of gas was 95.9 cents/L at a downtown Vancouver gas station on April 15, 2020. Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Price of gas was $1.69/L at a downtown Vancouver gas station on April 15, 2019. Vancouver, BC, Canada.
