Walking Tour
RAILTOWN: THE GHOST TERMINUS
Sunday October 30, 10am (est. 2 hours)
Meet at NW corner of Jackson and Alexander 
$10; pay-what-you-can for local residents
Once considered as the site for a major railroad terminal, Railtown today is an eclectic mix of warehouses, studios and housing. On this tour we will explore this curious bit of the city and its quirky history. John Atkin is a civic historian and author who has explored Vancouver like few others. With his deep knowledge of urban planning and his love of architecture, John leads a fascinating tour that is layered with offbeat insights into the city’s architecture, history and neighbourhoods.
