Oh yes, because tourists absolutely flock to Vancouver to view 500 Dunsmuir. Or are they coming to see 487 Helmcken? No, no, it must be 2627 Dundas that they're coming to see! Aren't you one of the people that rags on others for calling Vancouver a world class city? Surely you're not trying to compare 500 Dunsmuir to the Colosseum.

It's so ironic you bring up Paris because, as I'm sure others have pointed out to you many times in the past, around the time of Vancouver's founding they decided that the old city of Paris was crap and dangerous and inefficient and needed to be demolished so they tore down everything to build the Paris of today. The Hastings Mills Store is older than most of Paris.
