One of my favorite places to spend time is in the Gastown district of Vancouver, BC.
The district, the oldest part of Vancouver, derives its name from "Gassy" Jack Deighton, who opened the area's first saloon in 1867. Today the cobblestone streets are lined with shops, residences and restaurants, as well as the annual Vancouver Jazz Festival.
Below is a statue of Gassy Jack, found in Gastown in the red brick Maple Tree Square.
