ProGastown: yes to an artsy, gritty, inclusive ‘hood. no to a whitecaps soccer stadium of mammoth proportion.

List of businesses that supported the stadium, then left gastown

OK, this is mostly just in fun.  We know how hard it is to keep websites up to date.  But still… thought it would be fun to keep the Stadium Now folks honest, and keep an ongoing list of businesses on their website that supposedly support the stadium … but no longer exist!

  1.  Habano Cigar Company
  2. Jewel of India (I knew Sammy the owner.  I remain unconvinced that he said yes to the stadium)
  3. Rossinis
  4. Interactive Cafe
  5. Signal Systems (ok, technically they’re not out of business.  BUT TECHNICALLY THEY DON’T DO BUSINESS IN GASTOWN!  Hello??  Cornett Road?   Time for some Vancouver Geography 101.  Saying they’re a gastown business is a stretch even for the geographically challenged)
  6. Infotech.  See same comment as #5.   Since when is Yaletown, Gastown?
