Vancouver August 2005
Here's a pub I'd like to have an evening at with you guys.
It's called The Irish Heather.

You can't see the setting of the pub but it is in Gastown, which is the oldest part of the city. A few steps out the door of the pub is a statue of Gassy Jack. The statue stands where there used to be a tree. Under that tree the city name was decided.
The street is cobblestones and bricks. The pub is part of Gaolers Mews. The back of the pub was a stable.
Across the road is a first rate tobacconist/pipe shop.
Gastown is almost like looking at Vancouver a hundred years ago.
Also in Gastown is the building that was Duncan MacLeod's dojo in the TV series, Highlander. I'd love to get that space for the Bear Kilts shop!
