I am in Vancouver ( Maple Ridge ) give me a hollar and I can tell you some things...
I own a kart race track about 30 min from downtown and I can hook you up with some adrenaline....
You are in the heart of it all on Robson and should not have any trouble finding enterainment, food, clothes all within walking distance...
Whistler is about 1.5 hours away... Both Stadiums are walking distance or a quick cab ride for Hockey, Football, and concerts....
Brandi's is close ( arguably the best stripbar in town )
The beach is 10 min walk away...
All kinds of transportation options are close, airport 30min, rail 5 min, helijet to whistler walking distance, train to whistler close...
Good choice... Vancouver is nice... go to
