Hastings Street (Vancouver)
- Hastings Street (Vancouver)
.
Formally named in 1885 for Rear-Admiral George Fowler Hastings of the Royal Navy, [Snyders, Tom. "Namely Vancouver". 2001. Arsenal Pulp Press] the street runs past such well-known Vancouver landmarks as the Marine Building, the Vancouver Club, Sinclair Centre, Harbour Centre, Dominion Building and Victory Square and the Woodward's building, then through the heart of Vancouver's historic original downtown, today the troubled Downtown Eastside. Through the East End, the street forms one of the commercial cores for Vancouver's Italian community in a mixed-ethnicity retail area in the area of Nanaimo Drive, just east of which the Pacific National Exhibition and Playland are on the city of Vancouver's eastern fringe. After leaving Vancouver, Hastings forms the core of a Burnaby retail neighbourhood known as the Heights and then traverses Capitol Hill to the Lochdale and Westridge areas.
