vancouver's neon heritage

ovaltine2, originally uploaded by poppytalk.

if you like neon lights then vancouver is and was the place to be. unfortunately some of the old ones have disappeared but we still have a wonderful assortment and you can see them here and go here on a neon light bus tour. one of my favorites is the picture above of the ovaltine cafe on the downtown eastside.
